ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To investigate the rate of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (NdYAG) laser capsulotomy in the hydroimplantation intraocular lens (IOL) technique.METHODS:
This retrospective study was comprised of 6,192 eyes in 3,790 patients who underwent surgery from January 2013 to September 2017 and then were followed up for at least 1 year. The eyes of these patients were divided into two groups either viscoimplantation or hydroimplantation. The follow-up examinations were carried out on the 1st day, 4th day, 1st month, and 3 months to 1 year postoperatively. The NdYAG capsulotomy rates were evaluated by the different IOL implantation techniques and IOL materials.RESULTS:
The mean follow-up duration of the patients was in the viscoimplantation group 14.85 ± 2.43 and 15.05 ± 1.93 months in the hydroimplantation group. The NdYAG capsulotomy rate was significantly lower in the hydroimplantation group compared with the viscoimplantation group for the entire hydrophilic IOL model (p < 0.001). In addition, the NdYAG rate was lower in the hydroimplantation group that used a hydrophilic IOL than it was in the viscoimplantation group, which used a hydrophobic IOL.CONCLUSIONS:
The hydroimplantation technique reduced the NdYAG capsulotomy rate.
