Fig. 136. Photograph was taken 2 months after multiple superior and temporal radial anterior capsule relaxing incisions were made with the Nd:YAG laser. The anterior capsular opening is larger because the constricting ring effect of the contracting tissue around the smaller capsulorrhexis opening was interrupted by the radial incisions. The radial openings have disappeared as part of the fibrotic remodeling process after laser treatment. (Courtesy of James A. Davison, MD, Wolfe Eye Clinic, Marshalltown, IA..) |
