YAG Laser Capsulotomy, Leeds
Specialist Post-Cataract Vision Correction by Mr. Ahmed Bardan
After cataract surgery, some patients may experience cloudy or blurred vision due to a natural thickening of the lens capsule. This common condition is known as Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO) and can affect vision months or even years after surgery.
YAG Laser Capsulotomy is a quick, painless and highly effective procedure performed by Consultant Ophthalmologist Mr. Ahmed Bardan in Leeds to restore clear vision by removing the cloudiness behind the lens implant.
What is YAG laser capsulotomy?
During cataract surgery, the eye’s cloudy natural lens is replaced with a clear intraocular lens (IOL). Over time, the capsule holding the lens can become hazy, causing vision to deteriorate.
​
YAG Laser Capsulotomy uses a precise laser to create a clear opening in the capsule, allowing light to pass through unobstructed.
​
