Complication after inadvertent Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy in a phakic eye
We describe a case of complication after inadvertent Nd:YAG laser in a phakic eye. The slit-lamp examination and anterior OCT revealed a traumatic cataract and a PCR. These complications were successfully managed with combined phacoemulsification and pars plana vitrectomy, resulting in improved BCVA postoperatively. The case highlights the importance of preoperative time-out to prevent a rare complication after Nd:YAG laser.
