Sympathetic ophthalmia following neodymium:YAG cyclotherapy

D P Edward et al. Ophthalmic Surg. 1989 Aug.

Abstract

Neodymium:YAG cyclotherapy has been demonstrated to lower intraocular pressure dramatically in patients with uncontrolled glaucoma, with potentially fewer side-effects than cyclocryotherapy. We report the clinical course and histopathological features of a case of sympathetic ophthalmia occurring soon after YAG cyclotherapy.
