Posterior Capsule Opacification Treatment

YAG Laser Capsulotomy

Months or years after cataract surgery, some patients develop a cloudy membrane behind the lens implant.

This condition is called posterior capsule opacification.

A YAG laser capsulotomy can restore clarity by creating a small opening in the cloudy capsule using a laser.

The procedure takes only minutes and typically improves vision quickly.
