Regain clear vision with YAG laser capsulotomy after cataract surgery

YAG laser capsulotomy restores your sight to the levels it was after your cataract or lens replacement surgery

Your vision is restored

If you’ve experienced the wonders of cataract surgery or lens replacement, it can be disappointing when your lovely crisp vision starts to fade. This is often due to a cloudy layer behind your lens implant called capsule opacification. Fortunately, I can quickly and easily treat this issue with a procedure called YAG laser capsulotomy. Your vision will be crystal clear again in no time.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy

The procedure takes just a few minutes. You’ll soon be back to seeing again as you did just after your cataract surgery as you regain that sense of freedom and convenience that you so truly deserve.

Move forward with confidence

There is no downtime required after YAG laser capsulotomy, so you can return to your everyday activities immediately. It is also highly unlikely for the capsule opacification to return so you can move forward in life with confidence.

Stop waiting and start living

In today’s climate of long post-lockdown waiting lists and uncertainty around treatment options, many people aren’t getting the clear and personal service they desire. My patients don’t have to wait. Once they’ve decided to move forward with YAG laser capsulotomy, we will secure a date in the diary and help you regain that wonderful clear and vibrant vision.

YAG laser capsulotomy helps you reclaim clear vision after cataract surgery

If you’d like to know the ins and outs of YAG laser treatment we have all the information you need below

YAG laser capsulotomy suitability criteria

You may be suitable for this treatment If you’ve had cataract or lens replacement surgery in the past and your vision has become “cloudy” and “misty” again.

To ensure you are a good candidate, we will examine you and confirm that the capsule behind your lens is becoming opacified.

How lens YAG laser capsulotomy works

We use a laser to remove the cloudy capsule behind your lens implant. This restores your sight to the levels it was after your cataract or lens replacement surgery.

Advantages and disadvantages of YAG laser capsulotomy

Advantages

  • It is a quick and painless procedure that we perform in the clinic
  • Your vision will rapidly improve after the laser
  • It is highly unlikely that capsule opacification will occur again
  • No risk of infection

Disadvantages

  • Unfortunately, the procedure may not work for everyone
  • No laser procedure is entirely risk-free

YAG laser capsulotomy risks

Any laser procedure carries an element of risk which I will discuss with you in detail at your appointment. Some include:

  • Inflammation of the eye
  • Floaters
  • Swelling or detachment of the retina
  • Reduced vision

YAG laser capsulotomy options and alternatives

Unfortunately, there is no alternative to YAG laser capsulotomy.

YAG laser capsulotomy steps

I perform laser treatment in the clinic as a day treatment. The entire process takes less than 5 minutes.

Step one: Before treatment, I administer eye drops to prepare and “numb” the eye.

Step two: I ask you to look at a light whilst I perform the laser. You’ll hear a series of “clicks.”

Step three: I may give you anti-inflammatory eye drops to use.

YAG laser capsulotomy results

YAG laser capsulotomy is a very successful and effective way to improve your vision.

If you have no other eye issues, YAG laser will restore your vision to the way it was after your cataract or lens replacement surgery.
