  • YAG Laser Treatment – Capsulotomy, Iridotomy

Our clinic offers YAG Laser Treatment, a safe, non-invasive procedure commonly used to treat specific vision problems following cataract surgery or to manage certain types of glaucoma. This advanced laser technology allows for precise correction without the need for traditional surgery, offering rapid results and minimal recovery time.


✦ YAG Laser Capsulotomy

After cataract surgery, some patients may develop a cloudy membrane behind the implanted intraocular lens (IOL), a condition known as posterior capsule opacification (PCO)—often called a “secondary cataract.” This can cause blurry vision, glare, or difficulty seeing clearly again.

YAG Laser Capsulotomy is a quick, painless outpatient procedure that uses a focused laser beam to create a small opening in the cloudy posterior capsule, restoring clear vision almost instantly.

Benefits:

  • Painless and stitch-less

  • Takes only 5–10 minutes

  • Immediate improvement in vision

  • No incisions or downtime


✦ YAG Laser Iridotomy

YAG Laser Iridotomy is used to treat or prevent angle-closure glaucoma, a serious condition where fluid builds up inside the eye due to blocked drainage angles. This buildup increases eye pressure and can cause sudden vision loss if left untreated.

In this procedure, the laser creates a tiny hole in the outer edge of the iris (the colored part of the eye), allowing fluid to flow freely and reducing intraocular pressure.

Benefits:

  • Minimally invasive and quick

  • Helps preserve vision

  • Reduces risk of acute angle-closure attacks

  • No hospitalization required
