Abstract:
Anterior capsulotomy of the lens capsule is one of the important steps before extracapsular lens extraction. A neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet laser anterior capsulotomy was done in 144 eyes with immature, mature, and hypermature senile cataracts. This noninvasive technique is a safe and useful way to treat immature cataracts. To achieve the best result, the time interval between laser capsulotomy and surgery should be within six hours. Flap types of capsulotomy give the best results.
