The aim of this study was to examine the influence that the size of a neodymium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy performed for posterior capsule opacification (PCO) has on visual ...

Implantation of a multifocal IOL correlated with a higher incidence of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy than a similarly designed monofocal lens, a study found. Implantation of the multifocal IOL required ...

Capsular block syndrome is a known early and late complication of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC). 1 It occurs when fluid accumulates in the capsular bag secondary to occlusion of the ...

In patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy who underwent cataract surgery, yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser capsulotomy was associated with increased risks for progression of the ...

Dr. Greenstein answers the question: 'What Is After-Cataract, Can It Be Fixed?' Aug. 24, 2009— -- Question: What is after-cataract (posterior capsular opacification), and is there anything that ...
