A Study of the Impact of ND: Yag Laser Posterior Capsulotomy on Foveal Thickness and Central Corneal Thickness by Using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography
Abstract: Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is a common post - cataract surgery complication, resulting from the proliferation and migration of residual lens epithelial cells. Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy is the standard non - invasive treatment for PCO, though it carries risks such as corneal endothelial damage, increased intraocular pressure, and retinal detachment. This observational study aimed to assess the effects of Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy on foveal and central corneal thickness using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD - OCT). Fifty patients, aged 20 - 60, with clinically significant PCO and a best - corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of
