Recurrent late-onset fibrotic capsular block syndrome after neodymium-yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser anterior capsulotomy: a case report

BACKGROUND Capsular block syndrome is an uncommon complication that occurs after cataract surgery. It is characterized by capsular distension, anterior intraocular lens displacement, anterior chamber shallowing, and unexpected myopic shifts. We report a case of recurrent fibrotic capsular block syndrome with Elschnig's pearl-type posterior capsule opacification 10 months after neodymium-yttrium...

Latanoprost for the prevention of ocular hypertension after neodymium:yttrium-aluminum- garnet laser posterior capsulotomy

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of latanoprost for the prevention of ocular hypertension after neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser posterior capsulotomy. Methods: Fifty six eyes of 56 consecutive patients receiving neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser capsulotomy for posterior capsule opacification were randomized to group 1, who received 1 drop of latanoprost 0.005%, or to group 2, who r...

Intraocular Pressure Spikes following Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser Capsulotomy: Current Prevalence and Management in Israel

AIM The current treatment for posterior capsular opacification (PCO), neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy, may lead to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Our aim was to survey routines in the management of IOP spikes and to identify the rate of IOP spikes following prophylactic apraclonidine treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS A survey questionnaire among ophtha...
