Abstract
A 65-year-old-woman presented following neodymium: YAG capsulotomy for posterior capsular opacification with acute glaucoma. Cataract surgery had been done with good outcomes. Cornea edema obscured detail of the anterior chamber, but the edge of the lens could be seen clearly within the pupillary space and the acute angle-closure glaucoma was due to vitreous prolapse in the anterior chamber. We believe this case demonstrates the possible complications of the Nd: YAG capsulotomy even if it is an effective tool to treat an opacified posterior capsule after cataract surgery.
