| Abstract | Objective: To study the effect of Nd-YAG capsulotomy on visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in patients with posterior capsular opacification following cataract surgery. Material and methods: A total of 100 eyes (87 patients) were enrolled for the study who went Nd-YAG laser capsulotomy. Patients who had undergone uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract surgery with implantation of foldable intraocular lens were included and patients with associated ocular diseases were excluded. Visual acuity and contrast sensitivity were measured with snellen acuity chart and pelliRobson chart respectively at day 1, day 7, 1 month and 3 months following procedure. Results: Pre-laser visual acuity was compared with Day1 visual acuity and it showed that the improvement in visual Ishtiyaq Jasiya, Bhat Parvez Ahmad, Anand Om Prakash, Qadri Syed Shuja, Gagneja Neetu, Arsalan-un-nisaA study of effect on visual acuity and contrast sensitivity following Nd-YAG laser capsulotomy in patients with posterior capsular opacification EUROPEAN ACADEMIC RESEARCH Vol. III, Issue 4 / July 2015 5148 acuity on Day1 was found to be statistically significant (p value= .001) indicating an immediate improvement in visual acuity after this procedure. Visual acuity done on D7 of capsulotomy showed that the improvement of visual acuity was also found to be statistically significant (p value=.000). Visual acuity done at 1 month of capsulotomy showed the improvement of visual acuity when compared to pre-laser values was found to be statistically significant (p value=.000). Visual acuity done at 3 months of capsulotomy remained same as at 1 month. This improvement when compared to pre-laser visual acuity was found to be statistically significant (p value=.0.000). Mean value of pre-laser contrast sensitivity was compared with contrast sensitivity at D1, D7, 1month and 3months. Pre-laser mean value of contrast sensitivity was 1.1538 which was compared with mean value during follow up (mean value 1.5235). The improvement in contrast sensitivity was found to be statistically significant (p value=0.000). Conclusion: Nd-YAG capsulotomy definitely improves both visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in patients with significant PCO and maximum improvement occurs within first month following |
