 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 13 Nd: YAG laser treatment of clinical evaluation of cataract [Abstract] Objective: To evaluate the Nd: YAG laser treatment after cataract clinical efficacy, safety and the treatment points. Methods: 723 cases of 770 significant effect on visual acuity after cataract were treated with Nd: YAG laser for treatment, according to in patients with different preoperative treatment to choose, cut power to the minimum energy cut capsule began. Results: a 99.1% success rate of capsulotomy, all patients were followed up for 4 ~ 12mo, visual acuity significantly increased from The mean preoperative visual acuity of 0.22 increased to 0.50. complications of intraocular lens pit 86 (11.2%, a transient elevation of intraocular pressure in 7 eyes (0.9%, vitreous hernia in 2 eyes (0.3%. CONCLUSION: Nd: YAG laser posterior capsulotomy after cataract surgery is safe and is effective and master the timing of treatment, for patients to choose the specific treatment before surgery can improve treatment efficacy and safety.

Different patients were treated according to different conditions. RESULTS: The success rate was 99.1%. The follow up time was 4 12 months. The average visual acuity of all cases was improved from 0.22 to 0.50. The complications included the damage of lens in 86 eyes (11.2%), transient high intraocular pressure in 7 eyes (0.9%) and vitreous hernia in 2 eyes (0.3%). CONCLUSION: Nd: YAG laser is a safe and effective method for posterior capsulotomy. Different treatment according to different patients can improve effect and safety. ?r KEYWORDS: after cataract; Nd: YAG laser; posterior capsulotomy 0 Introduction After the cataract is extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implan
