Book a ConsultationWhat is YAG laser treatment?
YAG laser treatment is a precise, minimally invasive procedure designed to clear posterior capsular opacification (PCO) that can occur after cataract surgery.
This condition, often referred to as an after-cataract, creates a cloudy layer on the back of the lens capsule, affecting your vision.
YAG laser treatment effectively removes this cloudiness, restoring clear vision and improving your quality of life.

PATIENT JOURNEY
How does YAG laser treatment work?
YAG laser treatment is performed using a laser that targets and clears the cloudy layer on the back of the lens capsule. Here’s how it works:
Preparation
Your eye will be dilated with special drops to provide a clear view of the capsule.
Laser Application
A magnifying contact lens may be used to focus the YAG laser on the cloudy layer. The laser vaporizes the cloudy tissue, clearing your vision.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, anti-inflammatory and pressure-regulating eye drops will be prescribed to support healing. Most patients experience improved vision within a day.
