Experience Clear Vision with Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic
If you’ve previously undergone cataract surgery and now experience blurring vision, you may be experiencing a common and treatable condition known as posterior capsule opacification (PCO). At Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic, our YAG laser capsulotomy specialists on Harley Street, London are here to restore your vision to its optimal clarity.
What is YAG Laser Capsulotomy?
YAG laser capsulotomy is a non-invasive procedure designed to correct the blurriness that sometimes emerges after cataract surgery. This blurriness is typically due to PCO, a condition where the posterior (back) portion of the lens capsule, which remains in the eye after cataract surgery, becomes thicker and cloudy over time.
Understanding the Process
- Cataract Surgery:
- During cataract surgery, the natural lens with the cataract is removed.
- An artificial intraocular lens is implanted, but part of the original capsule is left intact to ensure structural stability.
- Development of PCO:
- Over time, the retained portion of the lens capsule can become cloudy, leading to blurred vision.
- This is a relatively common side effect and is known as posterior capsule opacification (PCO).
- The Corrective Procedure:
- A YAG laser capsulotomy corrects this problem by creating a small opening in the cloudy capsule.
- This opening allows light to pass through clearly, restoring the vision to how it was after the initial cataract surgery.
