ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To compare changes in anterior segment parameters after NdYAG laser capsulotomy in eyes that underwent either combined phacovitrectomy or cataract surgery.METHODS:
This retrospective study enrolled 37 eyes of 35 patients with posterior capsular opacification treated with combined phacovitrectomy (group A), and 35 eyes of 32 patients with posterior capsular opacification treated with cataract surgery (group B). Anterior segment parameters, including anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber angle, and anterior chamber volume, were measured by a Pentacam before NdYAG laser capsulotomy and 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after this treatment.RESULTS:
In the cataract surgery group, the ACD was significantly lower 1 day (3.75 ± 0.74 mm), 1 week (3.73 ± 0.24 mm), and 3 months (3.74 ± 0.33 mm) after NdYAG laser capsulotomy compared with the pretreatment value (4.20 ± 0.62 mm, p = 0.002). By contrast, the ACD did not change significantly over time in the combined phacovitrectomy group. The ACD differed significantly between the two groups at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after capsulotomy. There were no significant changes in the anterior chamber volume, anterior chamber angle, central corneal thickness, or pupil size from before to after capsulotomy in either group. A non-significant trend toward myopic shift was observed in group A (p = 0.072) and B (p = 0.055).CONCLUSIONS:
The results of the present study may help determine the power of the intraocular lens in patients who underwent combined surgery or cataract surgery and who will receive NdYAG laser capsulotomy.
