 Proparacaine hydrochloride 0.5 eye drop Alcaine, Alcon Laboratories, TX, USA applied to the cornea before the procedure as topical anesthetic for the use of contact lens. Abraham contact lens Ocular Abraham Iridectomy YAG, Ocular, WA, USA was used during procedure to stabilize the eye, accurate focusing, and to improve the laser beam optics. The minimal amount of energy necessary to obtain breakdown and rupture the capsule as possible was aimed and applied during procedures. Applied energy range from 1 to 2 mJpulse opened all capsules in this study. Fırstly, cruciate opening was created beginning superiorly near the 12 oclock position and progressing downward toward the 6 oclock position. Shots were then placed at the edge of the capsule opening, progressed laterally toward the 3 and 9 oclock positions. The laser intentionally focused posterior to the capsule to avoid IOL marks. Free-floating fragments were avoided because they might remain and cause additional retinal effects. Patients that demonstrated free-floating fragments, visually significant pits and cracks in interventions were removed from study because of potentials to influence measurements. Patients that experienced large fragments in laser treatment were also excluded because of fragments may settle against the endothelium or angle structures. Applied total energy, total number of shots and total duration were recorded for each eye.
