[Efficacy and indications for YAG laser optico-reconstructive surgery on the anterior eye segment in children]
Abstract:
Efficacy of YAG laser surgery is analyzed in 486 children treated at the Helmholtz Institute of Ocular Diseases. Indications and contraindications for YAG laser correcting opticoreconstructive surgery on the anterior segment of the eye are defined for children with secondary cataracts, some congenital, traumatic, and complicated cataracts, anterior and posterior synechias, goniosynechias, ectopic and pinhole pupil, pupil block, anterior chamber cysts, vitreous adhesions, and some consequences of intraocular lens implantation. Optimal terms of laser intervention are defined, improving its efficacy and decreasing the risk of complications.
