All patients received YAG-PC and were followed up after 1 and 3 months. Best-corrected visual acuity, refractive errors, ACD, CCT, and ECC were assessed and compared between the pre-laser values and that of the 2 follow-up visits.Results: In both groups, BCVA showed significant improvement (P< 0.05). Compared to healthy controls, a significant hyperopic shift was observed in the FECD eyes at the 2 follow-up visits (P=0.027, and 0.019). A significant backward movement of the IOL was observed in the FECD eyes in the 2 follow-up visits (P=0.043, and 0.02). There was a significant correlation between the hyperopic shift in the FECD eyes and the ACD deepening during the 1st month (R= − 0.6, P=0.001) and 3rd month (R= − 0.4, P=0.04). Significant drop in the ECC was noted in both groups but without significant increase in the CCT.Conclusion: Compared to controls, a hyperopic shift and backward movement of the IOL were observed in the FECD eyes after YAG-PC. No significant corneal thickening was found in both groups despite the significant drop in the ECC. Future studies are required to confirm our results and monitor the long-term changes after YAG-PC in FECD.Keywords: YAG laser, posterior capsulotomy, Fuchs’ dystrophy, posterior capsular opacificationEleiwa TKhedr NEDFayek HBayoumy ADove Medical Pressarticleyag laserposterior capsulotomyfuchs’ dystrophyposterior capsular opacificationOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 1819-1825 (2021) |
