Study of Intraocular Pressure following Neodynium Yttrium Aluminium Garnet Laser Capsulotomy with the Use of Brimonidine: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study

Abstract: Introduction: Posterior capsular opacification is a common complication after cataract surgery. Neodynium Yttrium Aluminium Garnet laser capsulotomy is still the preferred treatment for posterior capsular opacification. This study was done to determine the use of Brimonidine eye drop in preventing the rise of intraocular pressure post-Neodynium Yttrium Aluminium Garnet laser capsulotomy. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Lumbini eye institute and research center, Bhairahawa, N… Show more

“…Variability in the results shown by different authors could be due to the difference in measuring IOP. Manandhar et al noted that mean IOP was 12.73 ± 3.3 mm Hg at one hour and 11.98 ± 3.2 mm Hg at two hours after YAG [19].…”
