18 May 2023

Ocular hypertension (OHT) and macular edema (ME) are the most common and relevant adverse events (AEs) following neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet posterior capsulotomy (Nd:YAG-caps), reports a study. These AEs normally occur within 3 months after the procedure, which stresses the need for a close follow-up during this period or a delayed capsulotomy.
