Treatment of fibrinous pupillary membrane occlusion following cataract surgery with microruptor laser.

摘要

A 79-year-old female with rheumatoid arthritis suffered from severe induced iritis with dense fibrinous pupillary membrane occlusion and high intraocular pressure (57 mmHg) following cataract surgery. We used a Nd:YAG laser technique to dissect and move the dense pupillary membrane away and avoid invasive surgical procedures. Postoperatively, we recorded IOP 14 mmHg and visual acuity 20/30.
