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

After the Procedure
