[Thésaurus Mesh]Troubles de la visionRésumé : SIGNIFICANCE: An increasing number of optometrists are performing Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy procedures; however, there is limited published information on the outcomes of these procedures. PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of capsulotomy procedures performed by optometrists. METHODS: Subjects diagnosed with posterior capsule opacification causing reduced vision and subjective visual complaints were recruited for this study. A baseline examination was performed to ensure that the subjects met all the necessary criteria. The procedure was performed by a licensed doctor of optometry at six different clinics, and each subject was monitored for visual outcome and any potential complications. RESULTS: Subjects' Snellen visual acuity improved from an average of 20/40 to 20/23 (P < .001) with no complications of increased intraocular pressure, inflammation, visually significant lens pitting, macular edema, or retinal detachment. Of 78 subjects who responded to a post-procedure survey, 77 (99%) reported subjective improvement in vision after capsulotomy. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the outcomes of this study, YAG laser capsulotomies are effective treatments to improve patient vision that can be safely and effectively performed by optometrists.
