Amongst multiple methods to treat thickened posterior capsular opacities occurring after cataract surgery, the Nd YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet) Laser is preferred because it is non-invasive and it is an OPD basis procedure considering the comfort of the patients. Objective: The present study was carried out to measure the effectiveness of the Nd YAG laser in terms of Best Corrected Visual Outcome. Methods: A detailed ocular, systemic, family history was taken. The patient was asked about the record of their cataract surgery and all the details regarding the type of the surgery, preoperative evaluation was recorded by Snellen’s chart, refractive status by auto-refractometer and subjective testing. Capsulotomy was done using VISUALS YAG IIIlaser of Zeiss company. The patient was followed up with the same evaluation procedure immediately post-laser within 1 hour, 1st-day post-laser, at 1 week, at 1 month. Results: Preprocedural visual acuity was impaired in 56 out of the 97 patients presented with visual acuity of 6/18. There was the visual improvement in all the patients as seen at the final follow-up after one month of the procedure. Conclusion: Nd YAG lasers provide a safe, simple, rapid relatively non-invasive and cost-effective treatment modality of posterior capsular opacification. More availability of Nd YAG lasers should be made in developing countries where posterior capsular opacity is the most common vision disturbing problem.
