Nd:YAG Laser for Posterior Capsulotomy
By Roger F. Steinert, MD
Laser Surgery Education Center
Cataract/Anterior Segment
Dr. Steinert illustrates a typical posterior capsulotomy performed on a patient with a multifocal IOL. He prefers a central button lens because it
- Improves the focus through magnification
- Eliminates blinking and helps stabilize the patient's eye
- Eliminates any issue of the corneal optics interfering with the fine focus of the Nd:YAG laser
