YAG Laser Capsulotomy

YAG Laser Capsulotomy
The treatment of posterior capsular opacification in the eye is accomplished with the comparatively non-invasive YAG laser capsulotomy process. The ophthalmologist is the one who performs the procedure (eye surgeon). It is a quick treatment that is done as an outpatient with local anaesthetic. You might require laser surgery called a YAG laser capsulotomy after having cataract surgery. If your eyesight blurs once more, it aids in clear vision. The membrane surrounding the lens clouding following cataract surgery is one of the most frequent long-term problems. The posterior capsule is the name of the membrane. Posterior capsule opacification is the medical term for when the posterior capsule becomes opaque. Reduced vision, glare, and other symptoms resembling cataract symptoms are some of the signs and symptoms of this illness. Opacification happens when epithelial cells in the lens proliferate, causing fibrosis and wrinkles in the posterior capsule. With a YAG laser, posterior capsular opacification is easily treatable.
