YAG Laser Treatment – Capsulotomy, Iridotomy

YAG Laser Treatment is a safe, quick, and non-surgical procedure used to treat common eye conditions such as posterior capsule opacification after cataract surgery and certain types of glaucoma. At Machve Hospital, YAG laser procedures are performed using advanced laser technology by experienced eye specialists to restore clear vision and improve eye health with minimal discomfort. The treatment is usually completed within a few minutes and does not require hospital admission.

Capsulotomy is commonly done to clear cloudiness that develops months or years after cataract surgery, while Iridotomy helps improve fluid drainage in the eye to reduce pressure caused by angle-closure glaucoma. Both procedures are painless, highly effective, and allow patients to return to normal activities the same day. Machve Hospital ensures thorough evaluation, precise laser application, and careful post-procedure monitoring for optimal outcomes.
