Özet
We report a 71-year-old man with posterior capsule opacification with severe neovascularization who was treated with photodynamic therapy and neodymium:YAG capsulotomy. Treatment was performed using a diode laser at 692 nm, a light dose of 50 J/cm2, and 6 mg/m2 body surface area verteporfin. The initial visual acuity was hand motions; 6 months after therapy, the visual acuity was stable at 20/200. In 9 months of follow-up, there was no recurrence of neovascularization and the pupil area remained clear; no retreatment was needed. Photodynamic therapy provided safe and effective occlusion of neovascular vessels in the posterior capsule area. © 2007 ASCRS and ESCRS.
