YAG Laser Capsulotomy
Restore Clear Vision After Cataract Surgery
At Solasta Healthcare, we specialise in advanced YAG laser capsulotomy — a quick, painless procedure that restores sharp, clear vision when blurring occurs after cataract surgery.
After cataract surgery, some patients develop a common condition called posterior capsule opacification (PCO) — often referred to as a ‘secondary cataract’.
This happens when the thin membrane (the capsule) that holds your lens implant becomes cloudy over time, causing blurred or hazy vision.
A YAG laser capsulotomy uses a precise, low-energy laser to make a small opening in this membrane, allowing light to pass through normally again.
The result? Brighter, clearer vision — almost instantly.
Our consultant ophthalmologists use the latest laser technology in a calm, private setting to help you see clearly again within minutes.
Signs You Might Need YAG Laser Treatment
If you’ve had cataract surgery and notice any of the following symptoms, you may benefit from YAG laser capsulotomy:
- Blurred or cloudy vision that returns months or years after surgery
- Glare or haloes around lights
- Difficulty reading or driving at night
- Reduced contrast or faded colours
Our experienced ophthalmologists can assess your vision and confirm whether YAG laser treatment is right for you.
