چکیده
This study was conducted to know the effectiveness of topical 0.5% timolol maleate for intraocular pressure rise after Nd-YAG laser posterior capsulotomy. Ninety-six eyes 92 patients undergoing capsulotomy were randomly selected pretreatment with maleate, 48 (Group A) or control B). The mean IOP group A 14.8±3.0 mmHg before and 15.7±3.4 (P >0.05), whereas 15.1±3.3 17.2±4.3 <0.05) B. There no statistically significant difference between two groups regard but <0.05). Pretreatment is effective in preventing elevation

Fifty four eyes of 54 patients undergoing Nd-YAG laser posterior capsulotomy were randomly assigned to pretreatment with either 125 mg of oral acetazolamide (group A) or placebo (group B). During the first 3 hours following capsulotomy, an intraocular pressure (IOP) rise of at least 10 mm Hg was recorded in eight of the 26 eyes of group B (30.8%) and in none of the 28 eyes of group A (p < 0.01)...
