The probability of developing posterior capsular opacification with Nd:YAG laser treatment after four types of IOL implantation

Abstract

AbstractBackgroundTo compare the probability of posterior capsular opacification treatment with Nd:YAG laser after cataract extraction surgery with the AT Lisa tri 839 MP lens, ZMB00 lens, AA lens and ZCB00 lens, and to investigate the factors influencing posterior capsular opacification treatment with Nd:YAG laser.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent cataract surgery with the AT Lisa tri 839 MP lens, ZMB00 lens, AA lens, and ZCB00 lens at our hospital from July 2018 to June 2021, analyzed the probability of posterior capsular opacification with Nd:YAG laser in these patients, as well as the factors affecting posterior capsular opacification with Nd:YAG laser treatment.ResultsA total of 395 eyes were treated with Nd:YAG laser in 317 patients, with an overall incidence of 6.1%. 14 eyes (42.4%) in the AT Lisa tri 839 MP group were treated with Nd:YAG laser, 3 eyes (1.9%) in the ZMB00 group were treated with Nd:YAG laser, 6 eyes (5.2%) in the AA group were treated with Nd:YAG laser, and 1 eye (1.1%) in the ZCB00 group was treated with Nd:YAG laser.ConclusionHydrophilic IOLs with hydrophobic surface were more likely to have posterior capsular opacification treated with the Nd:YAG laser than hydrophobic IOLs .
