After cataract surgery, some patients may experience clouding in the capsule that holds the lens implant. This leads to what is commonly referred to as ‘Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO)’ or ‘secondary cataract’. We offer YAG laser capsulotomy at Blue Fin Vision Eye Clinic on Harley Street, London, which is a safe and effective laser treatment designed to address this issue. Furthermore, it can help to restore your vision to its post-operative best.

What is YAG laser capsulotomy?

 

YAG laser capsulotomy is a non-invasive laser procedure. It creates a small opening in the clouded capsule, which allows light to pass through and restores clear vision. It’s quick and painless, and an optimal solution for those who experience impaired vision because of capsule clouding post-cataract surgery.

 

The procedure is considered to be safe, and has a high success rate. It’s generally required just once, and there’s minimal chance of repeat treatment. The latest laser technology is used, which ensures the highest-possible standards of safety and accuracy for our patients.

YAG laser capsulotomy surgery, recovery and aftercare

 

Blue Fin Vision Eye Clinic’s experienced team of ophthalmologists at The Harley Street Eye Centre perform the YAG laser capsulotomy with the utmost care. The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis and only takes a few minutes. Usually, patients are able to return to normal activities the very next day, and many notice their vision immediately improves.

 

After the treatment, you might experience some blurriness. This is due to the dilating drops used during the procedure. While recovery is rapid, we recommend to arrange transportation as a precaution. Aftercare instructions, and any necessary eye drops to minimise inflammation, will also be provided by our team. This also ensures your recovery is as comfortable as possible.
