Abstract EN
Purpose.
The aim of this study is to examine the influence of capsulotomy size on, spherical equivalent (SE), intraocular pressure (IOP), and macular thickness.
Materials and Methods.
Sixty-eight patients were examined preoperatively and 1, 4, and 12 weeks after Nd:YAG capsulotomy.
Patients were divided into two groups based on the postoperative capsulotomy size.
Changes in SE, IOP, and macular thickness were compared between two groups.
Results.
We found a higher hyperopic shift in large capsulotomy group.
In both groups 1 and 2, IOP increased 1 week postoperatively.
Intraocular pressure rise in group 2 was higher than in group 1.
Both groups had increased macular thickness at 1 week postoperatively.
The degree of macular thickening was similar in group 1 and group 2.
Comment.
Patients who underwent a larger capsulotomy have a higher hyperopic shift and IOP elevation.
Rise in macular thickness was similar in large and small capsulotomy groups.
