Neodymium: YAG laser capsulotomy with a biconvex intraocular lens
J Cataract Refract Surg.
1989 Jul.
Abstract
There are optical and mechanical advantages of the biconvex posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) following cataract surgery. A clinical study of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy in eyes with biconvex IOLs was undertaken. The lenses were made of injection-molded poly(methyl methacrylate) without laser spacing. Using specified techniques, YAG laser capsulotomy was performed in 19% of 436 eyes without significant damage to the IOL and without affecting visual acuity or glare disability.
