YAG Laser Procedures

Quick & Painless Laser Solutions for Clearer Vision

The **YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) Laser** is a non-invasive, high-precision tool used in ophthalmology to treat secondary vision problems without the need for traditional surgery or incisions. It's often used right in the clinic.

Our most common procedures are **YAG Capsulotomy**, which quickly restores vision after it becomes cloudy post-cataract surgery, and **YAG Peripheral Iridotomy (PI)**, a preventative laser treatment for certain types of glaucoma.

Frequently Asked Questions About YAG Laser

PCO is a clouding of the membrane that holds the implanted IOL after cataract surgery. While it is often called a 'secondary cataract,' it is not the cataract returning. It is easily and quickly cleared with a **YAG Capsulotomy**.

Vision improvement is often **immediate** (within hours) or within a day or two. Patients report a sudden clearing of the cloudiness that had been obscuring their sight.

It is primarily used for **narrow-angle or angle-closure glaucoma**. The laser creates a tiny hole in the iris to allow fluid to drain more easily, relieving pressure buildup and preventing a potentially blinding acute glaucoma attack.

No, the procedure is **not painful**. The eye is numbed with topical anesthetic drops beforehand. Patients may hear a soft clicking sound and see bright flashes of light, but they typically feel no discomfort.
