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.
Emma Laser Eye surgeryThe way I was dealt by Dr Laginaf was nothing short of outstanding. She went above and beyond and I would like to thank Dr Laginaf for the attention to detail.
Suhail VitrectomyGreat experience with Dr Chien Wong and his team. I needed to have three separate operations to repair a detached retina and poor NHS interventions. Amazing care and treatment and 2 years later still very grateful for their efforts.
Gordon Cataract SurgerySo much care, from the initial enquiry to the final check-up, every team member treats you as if you are the most important person they have ever dealt with. I completed my treatment feeling valued and with better than 20/20 vision.
