YAG (Yttrium Aluminium Garnet) laser is a highly precise and effective laser treatment used for several common eye conditions. At FURIA'S EYE CLINIC, we offer YAG laser procedures as a safe, quick, and non-invasive treatment option that provides lasting relief with minimal recovery time.
Types of YAG Laser Procedures
YAG Laser Capsulotomy (Posterior Capsulotomy)
This is the most common YAG laser procedure. After cataract surgery, the posterior capsule — the thin membrane behind the artificial lens — can become cloudy over time, causing blurred vision. This condition is known as Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) or "secondary cataract."
YAG laser capsulotomy creates a small, precise opening in the cloudy capsule, immediately restoring clear vision. The procedure is painless, takes only a few minutes, and requires no incisions or recovery period.
Benefits of YAG Capsulotomy
Immediate improvement in vision clarity
Quick, painless outpatient procedure
No incisions or stitches required
Single treatment — no repeat procedure needed
Safe and highly effective
YAG Laser Iridotomy
YAG laser iridotomy is used to treat or prevent acute and chronic angle-closure glaucoma. A small opening is created in the iris to improve the flow of aqueous fluid within the eye, reducing intraocular pressure.
Indications for YAG Iridotomy
Acute angle-closure glaucoma
Narrow-angle eyes at risk of angle-closure
Pigment dispersion syndrome
Plateau iris syndrome
What to Expect During the Procedure
Eye drops are used to numb the eye before the procedure
A special contact lens may be placed on the eye to focus the laser
The procedure takes only 5–10 minutes
Patients may see flashes of light during treatment
Mild pressure or discomfort may be felt momentarily
After the Procedure
Anti-inflammatory eye drops are prescribed for a few days
Intraocular pressure is monitored after the procedure
Most patients resume normal activities the same day
Vision improvement is typically noticed within 24 hours after capsulotomy
A follow-up appointment is scheduled to confirm results
