Abstract Purpose Herein, we elucidated the effect of anterior capsule polishing (ACP) during cataract surgery on the rate of neodymium: YAG (Nd: YAG) laser capsulotomy in multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL). Methods We extracted the medical records of patients who underwent phacoemulsification with MIOL between May 2016 and April 2017 from the files of the patients, and the follow-ups of fewer than 3 years were excluded. The participants were divided into the ACP group and the non- ACP group based on whether the anterior capsule was polished. The primary outcome was whether to perform Nd: YAG capsulotomy during the follow-up. We analyzed the time from IOL implantation to Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy using the Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Results The ACP group comprised 70 eyes and non-ACP group, 60 eyes. One year postoperatively, 7.14% of the eyes in the ACP group and 8.33% in the non-ACP group required Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy (P > 0.99). After 2 years, it was 24.29% and 18.33%, respectively (P = 0.52). After 3 years, it was 30.0% and 28.33% respectively (P = 0.85). There was no distinct difference in the probability for Nd: YAG laser between the ACP group and the non-ACP group evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival curves (P = 0.81). Patients with implantation of diffractive MIOL (AT LISA tri 839MP) had a high probability of requiring Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy. Conclusion Polishing the anterior capsule had no remarkable effect on reducing the rate of Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy after phacoemulsification in MIOL.
