Effects of Nd: YAG Laser Capsulotomy on Visual Acuity, Central Macular Thickness, Intraocular Pressure and Refraction in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Nd: YAG laser posterior capsulotomy (YAG PC) on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), intraocular pressure (IOP), and refraction in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Material Methods: retrospective included who underwent PC due capsular opacification (PCO). BCVA, examination results, IOP, CMT were evaluated. All examined before, one day, month after treatment. Results: The 56 eyes from 48 diabetic (diabetic group, Group 1) 61 50 nondiabetic (nondiabetic 2). In 1, a significant increase was observed between pre-treatment BCVA first-day first-month BCVAs. Similarly, first day compared CMT. On other hand, 2 However, no Conclusion: Although has increased DM PC, applied for PCO treatment, this did not affect recovery.
