Study: Laser anterior capsulotomy may trigger increased prostaglandin level in aqueous humor

Inflammation associated with an increased prostaglandin level in the aqueous humor correlated strongly with femtosecond laser-assisted anterior capsulotomy, according to a study.The prospective study included aqueous humor samples from 67 patients; 19 patients underwent laser capsulotomy, 11 patients underwent laser fragmentation, 19 patients underwent a combination laser capsulotomy and laser fragmentation, and 18 patients comprised a control group that underwent conventional cataract surgery.
