Abstract: | Suction posterior capsulorhexis (SPC) is a relatively new technique for creating a posterior capsulorhexis. We present a case series of seven patients who required Nd:YAG laser treatment 27 months after SPC. No patient had pre-existing risk factors for increased postoperative inflammation and all received a one-piece polymethylmethacrylate intraocular lens placed in-the-bag. Although it reduces the need for Nd:YAG laser treatment, SPC, like the more usual forceps posterior capsulorhexis, does not completely eliminate it. |
