YAG Laser Capsulotomy
YAG Laser Capsulotomy Surgery on Harley Street, London
Post-cataract surgery, some patients may experience clouding in the capsule that holds the lens implant, leading to what is commonly known as ‘Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO)’ or ‘secondary cataract’. At Blue Fin Vision Eye Clinic on Harley Street, London we offer YAG Laser Capsulotomy, a safe and effective laser treatment designed to address this issue and restore your vision to its post-operative best.
YAG Laser Capsulotomy is a non-invasive laser procedure that creates a small opening in the clouded capsule, allowing light to pass through and restoring clear vision. This quick and painless treatment is an optimal solution for those experiencing vision impairment due to capsule clouding after cataract surgery.
YAG Laser Capsulotomy is considered a safe procedure with a high success rate. It is generally required only once, and the chances of needing a repeat treatment are minimal. We use the latest laser technology, ensuring the highest standards of safety and accuracy for our patients.
