摘要：
Fifty-six eyes which had a triple procedure (penetrating keratoplasty, extracapsular cataract extraction, and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation) were evaluated for the incidence, results, and complications of neodymium:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy. Ten of the 56 eyes (17.8%) required YAG laser posterior capsulotomy. Overall, nine of the ten eyes (90.0%) improved their visual acuity one Snellen line or more. Lens pitting (one case) and bleeding (one case) were complications of the laser treatment. The addition of the corneal transplant does not appear to alter the results of the YAG laser posterior capsulotomy, nor does it jeopardize the success of the corneal transplant. © 1990, American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
