Hematoxylin and eosin staining of rabbit eyes after YAG laser anterior capsulotomy showed amorphous substances at the anterior chamber angle. The amorphous substances were identified as fibrin by immunohistochemical methods. This finding indicated that the obstruction of aqueous humor flow by fibrin could be responsible for the elevation of intraocular pressure following YAG laser anterior capsulotomy.
