What Is YAG Laser Capsulotomy?
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is a common occurrence after cataract surgery. Over time, the capsule that holds your artificial lens can become cloudy, causing blurred vision, glare, and difficulty with bright lights. This can happen to up to 20% of patients after cataract surgery, sometimes months or even years later.
YAG laser capsulotomy is a safe, quick, and effective procedure that restores clear vision. Using a highly precise laser, our specialists create a small opening in the cloudy capsule, allowing light to reach the retina again. The result is a rapid improvement in vision, often within days, and a return to the clarity you enjoyed after your original cataract surgery.

- Drops are used to dilate your pupil, allowing a detailed examination of the retina.
- Our top specialists will discuss the benefits and any potential risks, ensuring you are fully informed and comfortable before proceeding.
During the Procedure:
- The treatment is performed while you are seated at a laser machine, similar to a routine eye examination.
- Local anaesthetic drops are used to ensure your comfort.
- The laser creates a small opening in the capsule in just a few minutes.

After the Procedure:

Safety and Risks
YAG laser capsulotomy is considered very safe, with serious complications being extremely rare. Some patients may experience a temporary rise in eye pressure, mild inflammation, or floaters, but these are usually short-lived and easily managed.
