LASER TREATMENT OF OPAQUE CAPSULE 

Indications:

• Posterior capsule opacification can cause blurred vision, glare, and other visual disturbances after cataract surgery. This is also known as ‘secondary cataract’.

• YAG capsulotomy is a laser procedure used to treat cloudy vision by removing the opacification that can occur after cataract surgery. 

• It’s typically a quick procedure, taking just a few minutes. 

• YAG capsulotomy is considered a safe and effective procedure to restore the vision.

• Vision improvement is usually noticeable soon after the procedure. Patients may experience some temporary blurring or light sensitivity, but this typically resolves within a few days. 

• Patients usually receive eye drops after the procedure and may have a follow-up appointment to monitor their vision.
