YAG laser treatment is a highly advanced, non-invasive laser procedure used to treat specific eye conditions that can affect vision even after successful cataract surgery. At Drishti Deep Phaco and Eye Care Centre, we offer safe and effective YAG laser capsulotomy and YAG laser iridotomy to restore visual clarity and prevent further complications.
After cataract surgery, some patients develop a condition called Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO)—also known as a "secondary cataract." This happens when the membrane behind the intraocular lens (IOL) becomes cloudy over time, causing blurry vision.
YAG Laser Capsulotomy is a quick and painless outpatient procedure that uses laser energy to create an opening in the cloudy capsule, allowing light to pass clearly through the lens.
This laser procedure is used to treat or prevent angle-closure glaucoma. The YAG laser is used to make a tiny opening in the peripheral iris (colored part of the eye), improving the drainage of intraocular fluid and lowering eye pressure.
1. Pre-laser evaluation – Measures eye pressure.
2.Laser treatment – Examines eye’s drainage angle.
3.Post-laser care – Assesses optic nerve health.
4.Follow-up – Detects blind spots.
1. Is YAG laser treatment painful?
No. The procedure is completely painless. Numbing eye drops are used beforehand.
2. How long does the procedure take?
It takes only 5 to 10 minutes per eye.
3. How soon will I see improvement?
Most patients notice improved vision within a few hours to a day after the treatment.
4. Are there any side effects?
Mild floaters or light sensitivity may occur temporarily, but these usually resolve within a few days.
5. Is the effect of YAG laser permanent?
Yes. Once the cloudy capsule is opened or the iris opening is made, the effect is usually permanent, and repeat treatment is rarely required.
