title: Initial clinical results with YAG laser capsulectomy with a monomode, Q-switched unit (LASAG).
abstract: We present initial clinical experience for posterior capsulectomy with a monomode, Q-switched YAG laser (LASAG). Results indicate 100% capsulectomy success with less than 100% visual improvement. Complications were minimal and usually transient. Implant nicking was reduced by using low energy levels and precise focusing, and by the surgeon's increased facility with experience.
