YAG Laser Capsulotomy

YAG Laser Capsulotomy

Developed visual clouding months or years after cataract surgery or Refractive Lens Exchange? Don’t worry, this is very common. A process called Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) is the build up of cloudy cells behind the lens implant. These cells are opaque and block clear light passage through the lens. It is sometimes called “after cataract”. A painless, two-minute laser procedure performed seated in a chair can permanently rectify this cloudy build up safely and effectively. It does not need repeating. Once lasered, these cells cannot return.

Overview

Some patients experience blurred vision weeks or months after cataract surgery due to a natural clouding behind the intraocular lens. At Farnham Eye Care, our consultant-led team provides expert YAG Laser Capsulotomy to remove this clouding safely and efficiently. Led by Professor Dan Lindfield, we deliver precise, patient-focused care using advanced laser technology to restore vision quickly.
