Five Consecutive Cases of Liquefied Aftercataract: Impact of Nd:YAGLaser Capsulotomy on Refraction and High-Order Aberrations

For five consecutive eyes from five patients with liquefied aftercataract, Nd:YAG laser treatment significantly reduced high-order aberrations. Two eyes showing a reduction in positive spherical-like aberrations after treatment showed a postoperative myopic shift, while three eyes showing no change in spherical-like aberrations demonstrated hyperopic or only a slight myopic shift.
