Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after cataract surgery can you do YAG capsulotomy?

It is unclear exactly when the blood-water barrier regenerates after cataract surgery, so the longer the waiting time for a routine laser capsulotomy procedure after cataract surgery, the lower the risk of post-operative inflammation. It is better to wait around 6 to 8 weeks following your surgery before performing a laser capsulotomy.

How long does it take for vision to improve after YAG?

For most patients, 2 days is sufficient to improve visual quality. A short time after the procedure, you can return to daily routine activities. Sometimes your doctor prescribes eye drops as part of treatment.

How safe is YAG laser capsulotomy?

YAG laser capsulotomy is one of the safest eye procedures and complications after the procedure are very rare.

Is YAG laser capsulotomy treatment painful?

No, most patients report that this procedure is completely painless, although some patients report minor discomfort during the treatment.

What is YAG laser used for?

The YAG laser is used to clear the frosting from the back surface of an intraocular lens and is completed in a few minutes from outside the eye.

How do I prepare for a YAG laser?

No preparation is required before a YAG laser treatment.
