If you’re experiencing vision problems after cataract surgery, YAG Laser Capsulotomy may be the solution you need to regain clarity. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to treat posterior capsule opacification (PCO), a common condition that can develop after cataract surgery. At our Harley Street Clinic, we specialize in YAG Laser Capsulotomy, providing patients with quick and effective relief from cloudy vision. With the advancements in laser technology, YAG Laser Capsulotomy has become a safe and reliable option for those seeking improved eyesight.
Understanding YAG Laser Capsulotomy
YAG Laser Capsulotomy is a procedure performed using a YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) laser to create an opening in the cloudy capsule behind the intraocular lens that can develop after cataract surgery. This cloudiness occurs when lens epithelial cells grow and multiply, leading to blurred or distorted vision. YAG Laser Capsulotomy works by precisely cutting through the capsule, allowing light to pass through clearly again. The procedure is quick, typically lasting only about 15 minutes, and is often performed in an outpatient setting at our Harley Street Clinic.
Benefits of YAG Laser Capsulotomy
One of the primary benefits of YAG Laser Capsulotomy is its effectiveness in restoring clear vision. Most patients experience significant improvements immediately after the procedure. Additionally, the non-invasive nature of YAG Laser Capsulotomy means that recovery is swift, with minimal discomfort. Most individuals can return to their daily activities shortly after the treatment, making it a convenient option for those seeking relief from cloudy vision. Moreover, YAG Laser Capsulotomy is a highly successful procedure, with a high patient satisfaction rate.

The YAG Laser Capsulotomy Procedure
Before undergoing YAG Laser Capsulotomy, patients will have a comprehensive eye examination to confirm the diagnosis of posterior capsule opacification. On the day of the procedure, you will receive anesthetic eye drops to ensure comfort. The actual YAG Laser Capsulotomy is performed while you are seated comfortably in a chair. The surgeon will focus the laser on the cloudy capsule, creating a small opening that allows light to enter the eye properly. Patients may notice an immediate improvement in their vision after the procedure.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from YAG Laser Capsulotomy is typically quick and straightforward. After the procedure, patients may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity to light, but this usually resolves within a few hours. It’s essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our clinic, which may include using prescribed eye drops and scheduling follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. Most patients resume their regular activities within a day, making YAG Laser Capsulotomy a highly convenient solution for vision problems related to PCO.
