YAG anterior capsulectomy and lysis of posterior synechiae after cataract surgery
Ophthalmic Surg.
1992 Feb.
Abstract
An anterior capsulotomy sometimes contracts enough following a small-diameter capsulorhexis to obscure vision. Nine cases are presented in which a YAG-laser anterior capsulectomy eliminated this problem with no complications.
