[Comparing the effect of apraclonidine versus timolol in preventing the intraocular pressure elevation after YAG laser capsulotomy]

ABSTRACT

Background: Considering the high number of cataract surgery and the posterior capsular opacity as its complication which needs laser capsulotomy and also the rising of intraocular pressure [IOP] after such surgeries, the purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of apraclonidine and timolol separately in decreasing IOP after laser capsulotomy in Matini hospital of Kashan during 2010-11
