Yag Laser Capsulotomy
Restoring Clear Vision After Cataract Surgery. A safe, precise in-office laser procedure performed locally.
Posterior capsule opacification is common after cataract surgery and can be treated safely and effectively. At Homer Eyecare, our experienced doctors perform YAG laser capsulotomy right here in our clinic.
Your Eyes Matter
After cataract surgery, some patients notice that vision gradually becomes cloudy again. Colors may appear duller, glare may increase, and reading or night driving may feel more difficult.
This condition is called posterior capsule opacification (PCO), sometimes referred to as a “secondary cataract.” It occurs when the thin membrane that supports your intraocular lens implant becomes cloudy over time.
Because this change develops gradually, many people do not realize how much their vision has been affected until clarity is restored.
At Homer Eyecare, we monitor your eyes carefully after cataract surgery and help determine when YAG laser capsulotomy is appropriate. This in-office laser procedure creates a precise opening in the cloudy posterior capsule, restoring a clear visual pathway to the retina.
1. Careful Evaluation
We evaluate your vision and examine your eyes to confirm that YAG laser treatment is appropriate.
2. Brief In-Office Laser Procedure
Using a specialized YAG laser, we create a small opening in the cloudy capsule behind your lens implant.
3. Aftercare & Monitoring
We assess intraocular pressure after the procedure and monitor your visual clarity. Many patients notice improvement quickly.
