Abstract

Objective: This prospective study aimed to determine the effect of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy on spherical equivalent (SE), mean keratometry (Km), intraocular pressure (IOP), and changes in the anterior segment parameters, namely, anterior chamber depth (AChD), anterior chamber volume (AChV), anterior chamber angle (AChA), and central corneal thickness (CCoT).
