Intraocular lens tilt and decentration after Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy: Femtosecond laser capsulorhexis versus manual capsulorhexis

Abstract

Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy performed after femtosecond laser-assisted capsulotomy resulted in better mechanical stability of the IOL. This suggests that a femtosecond laser-created capsulotomy better maintains a proper IOL position. Although the differences were statistically significant, the tilt and decentration values were small and might not be clinically significant.
