What is YAG Capsulotomy?

YAG Capsulotomy is a quick, painless laser procedure designed to restore clear vision after cataract surgery. While cataract surgery permanently replaces the eye’s cloudy natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), some patients develop a condition called posterior capsule opacification (PCO) months or even years after the procedure. This can cause vision to become hazy or blurred, similar to having a cataract again. YAG Capsulotomy uses a specialized laser to create a small opening in the clouded posterior capsule, allowing light to pass through and restoring sharp, clear vision. laser cataract surgery london.

Why Does Cloudy Vision Occur After Cataract Surgery?

After cataract surgery, the new artificial lens placed in the eye is designed to provide clear vision. However, in some cases, a thin membrane behind the lens can become cloudy over time. This is known as Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO)-a common occurrence rather than a complication of cataract surgery. PCO can cause blurred vision, glare, and difficulty reading.

Recent data indicates that about 10% of people require YAG laser treatment for PCO within the first year after cataract surgery, though it can develop months or even years later.

FAQ's
Regarding YAG Laser Treatment
01. What is YAG Laser Treatment, and what EYE conditions does it address?
YAG Laser Treatment involves the use of a focused laser beam to treat posterior capsule opacification (PCO) or secondary cataracts following cataract surgery. It effectively clears the cloudy membrane behind the intraocular lens.
YAG Laser Treatment specifically targets cloudiness in the posterior capsule after cataract surgery, while cataract surgery involves the removal of the clouded lens. LASIK is a refractive surgery for vision correction but differs in purpose from YAG capsulotomy.
Patients who have undergone cataract surgery and experience blurred vision due to posterior capsule opacification are suitable candidates for YAG Laser Treatment. Mr Deshmukh assesses eligibility during a comprehensive EYE examination.
The procedure is brief and typically painless. After treatment, patients often experience immediate improvement in vision. Some may notice floaters or spots, which usually resolve quickly.
YAG Laser Treatment is generally safe. However, potential risks include increased intraocular pressure, retinal detachment, or inflammation Mr Deshmukh discusses these risks and ensures proper patient education before the procedure.
