  • Title: Neodymium: YAG laser parabolic anterior capsulotomy in extreme capsule contraction syndrome.
    Author: Chawla JS, Shaikh MH.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 1999 Oct; 25(10):1415-7. PubMed ID: 10511947.
    Abstract:
    We report a technique of neodymium: YAG laser parabolic anterior capsulotomy in an extreme case of capsule contraction syndrome with complete occlusion of the central opening and intraocular lens (IOL) displacement. This technique achieves both optical and mechanical benefits of a clear visual axis and possible prevention of further IOL decentration.
