Posterior capsule reopacification after neodymium:YAG laser capsulotomy

We report a case of complete posterior capsule reopacification after successful neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy in an adult. Review of the records of all patients who had an Nd:YAG capsulotomy at our hospital revealed an incidence of reopacification of 0.7%. All affected patients were younger than 50 years at the time of cataract surgery.
