YAG laser capsulotomy

YAG laser capsulotomy is a quick, non-invasive eye procedure used to treat cloudy vision that sometimes occurs after cataract surgery. After cataracts are removed, a membrane behind the lens implant can become cloudy, causing blurred vision. During the procedure, a specialized laser creates a small opening in this cloudy membrane (called the posterior capsule), restoring clear vision. It's typically done in a doctor's office with minimal discomfort, often completed in minutes, and usually allows patients to resume normal activities quickly. The procedure is safe and effective, significantly improving vision in most cases.
