YAG LASER CAPSULOTOMY
The wonderful thing about cataract surgery is that it is actually a “cure”; the original cataract never comes back. However, following surgery, some patients can develop a “secondary cataract”, a haziness of the posterior capsule of the original lens. Years ago, patients would need to go back to the Operating Room to have a tiny surgical opening made in this "secondary cataract". Today, patients can easily and safely be treated using a laser to create the opening. This procedure restores optimal vision to patients with minimal inconvenience and no pain.
