YAG Laser Capsulotomy
YAG Laser is a non-invasive procedure performed on the eye to remove the opacification (cloudiness) that develops on the lens of the eye after cataract surgery.
This procedure dramatically improves visual acuity and contrast sensitivity and decreases glare. Approximately 20% of patients who undergo cataract surgery with placement of an intraocular lens into the posterior lens capsule will eventually undergo laser capsulotomy, which is performed in the Ophthalmologist’s rooms.
It uses a wavelength to disrupt the opacification on the posterior lens capsule. The energy emitted from the laser forms a hole in the lens capsule, removing a central area of the opacification.
This occurs in an attempt by the eye to make a new lens from the remaining lens material. It is the most common complication of cataract removal or extraction.
After Laser:
Within one or two days after surgery, maximum visual acuity will be attained by almost 99% of patients.
For a few weeks after surgery the presence of visual floaters is normal. But the presence of floaters months after this time, especially along with flashes of light may signal a retinal tear or detachment and require immediate attention. Also if vision suddenly or gradually worsens after an initial improvement, further follow up to determine the cause of a decease in visual function in imperative.
