Don’t let cloudy vision hold you back—restore clarity with a quick and effective YAG capsulotomy today!
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.

EXCELLENT Based on 52 reviews Posted on Google Frederick NewallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr Deshmukh performed cataract surgery on both my eyes four weeks ago. The results have been excellent. My sight has improved dramatically, long medium and short. Mr Deshmukh gave me a clear understanding of the procedure and helpful post operationPosted on Google Jenni WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For several years, I have been seeing Mr Deshmukh for suspected glaucoma and have been very impressed by his skill and sensitivity. When he suggested that now was the time to have cataract surgery, I had no hesitation in following his advice. He is very good at explaining the procedures and I opted for bilateral surgery with premium interocular lenses.I was slightly apprehensive before the operation but was reassured by all the staff. They were quite right as immediately afterwards I could read the notices in the corridor. It is wonderful not to be wearing glasses. I am 83 years old and cannot recommend Mr Deshmukh highly enough.Posted on Google E HawthornTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can 100% recommend Mr. Rajesh Deshmukh for eye surgery. Mr. Deshmukh performed a cataract operation on my right eye during March 2024 and on my left eye eleven weeks later. In each case, it would have been possible to drive within two days after the operation. I drove after six days, as I do not drive every day. I can now read a car number plate at 63 metres. His whole medical team was very good at reducing my anxiety prior to the operations, which were painless. In each case, I would not have known that my eye had undergone an operation, other than the effects of the pupil dilation drops taking a full 24 hours to completely diminish. Before the operation, my eyes exceeded the legal requirement for driving, but the possibility of not being able to drive in the future was never going to be acceptable to me. I believe we forget how good our eyes once were, as changes happen very slowly over a very long time-period.Posted on Google Richard BoothTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m 58-year-old who had early onset of cataracts. The cataract surgery was complicated by some RK surgery I had around 25 years ago. The cataracts were affecting my golf, I was struggling to play tennis under floodlights and drive in the dark. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I now have perfect distance eyesight and can comfortably read texts on my phone and night vision is excellent. Mr Deshmukh took the time to understand my demands and complications with my eyesight. He clearly takes pride and interest in his work; I can’t recommend him highly enough.Posted on Google R DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My Both eyes cataract removal with lens exchange to correct vision has been carried out recently by Consultant ophthalmic surgeon Mr Ragesh Deshmuk in the private patient unit at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London.

I also thank Ms Paula Jessup for her effort in arranging the timetables and all communications in this process. Wahab WeliPosted on Google zoe mcmillanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr Deshmukh carried out bilateral cataract surgery and insertion of trifocal lenses three weeks ago. The whole process was easy and reassuring. I can honestly say that the surgery itself was relaxing and pleasant - if you’re putting it off because you’re nervous - don’t be! This is the first time in nearly seventy years that I haven’t worn glasses and it’s life changing.
