Nd:Yag Laser Capsulotomy

This case report demonstrates a new possibility of using rigid gas permeable miniscleral contact lenses as a device for performing Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy in patients with corneal irregularity. A correctly formed optical surface with a lens on the eye eliminates optical errors of the distorted cornea, and can be a useful tool for the optimization of aiming laser beam directing and focusing.

Corneal Laceration

Background: Nd:YAG capsulotomy is the treatment of choice for posterior capsular opacification after cataract surgery. We report a case of corneal perforation following Nd:YAG capsulotomy in a patient with systemic scleroderma. Case Presentation: A 69-year-old woman presented with acute onset of blurred vision 2 weeks following Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy for posterior subcapsular opacification. On examination, her best-corrected visual acuity was 1/120, and bio-microscopy revealed a central full-thickness corneal laceration. Conservative treatment consisted of topical ocular antibiotics, cycloplegics, hypotensive drops and a soft therapeutic contact lens. Her final visual acuity improved to 6/18 with resolution of the corneal laceration. Conclusion: The possibility of corneal perforation after Nd-YAG capsulotomy in patients with systemic scleroderma and connective tissue disease should be borne in mind when treating such patients.
