Post Cataract Surgery YAG Laser Capsulotomy

YAG laser surgery returns your vision to the level it was after your initial cataract surgery.

On occasion, the clear vision that's achieved after cataract surgery can become blurred over time. In these cases, a secondary procedure known as YAG laser treatment is required to improve your vision. Optical Express will perform YAG laser treatment to restore your vision to the level achieved after your initial surgery.

During your treatment

The laser is applied
The laser is applied and your surgeon creates a small opening in your lens, using a YAG laser.


A clear view
The opening creates a clear path for your vision and returns it to the standard it was when you first had cataract surgery.


Eye pressure checked
While the procedure itself takes around five minutes, your surgeon will examine your eyes again after 20 minutes. When the pressure in your eyes has returned to normal, you'll be able to return home.
