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.

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.

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.
