YAG Laser Capsulotomy for PCO
Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO), a cloudy membrane that can form some time after cataract surgery, can be treated by a laser to restore clear vision.
Scroll to:
Summary
Your surgeon can treat the thickened capsule by using a laser to create a gap in the centre of the cloudy capsule. We call this procedure a YAG Laser Capsulotomy. The treatment is painless and generally takes just 10-15 minutes. Avoid the comparatively long NHS wating times for laser, all for the cost of a good pair of glasses.
The Process
After dilating the pupil with drops, your surgeon can perform a YAG Laser Capsulotomy in clinic
We will put in an anaesthetic drop to completely numb the surface of your eye during the procedure. Your surgeon will then place a special contact lens on your eye to precisely focus the laser.
Laser treatment takes 10-15 minutes per eye
Following treatment you will be given anti-inflammatory drops to use for one week

Start Your Journey With MY Eye Clinic
First class recommendation for My Eye Clinic and in particular Andrew Peel who was professional, knowledgeable very thorough. A pleasure to deal with!
So helpful and reassuring. My site is amazing. The whole process was so smooth, I understood everything that I was told and knew of any risks and potential side effects before agreeing to anything. Couldn't be happier.
I recently had permanent lens procedure carried out by Mr Ghosh. Having glasses as a child and contact lenses for many years, this has been an absolute revelation for me. Mr Ghosh was absolutely brilliant and very professional from the start. All the staff are lovely and especially like to thank Dianne, Anita and the team. This has changed my life for the better thanks.
Beautiful clinic, really nice atmosphere, prompt service and really friendly and professional staff. Fernando was particularly great!I would definitely recommend.
Excellent care, all staff very courteous and helpful. YAG surgery clearly explained to me by Mr Morgan, who did a brilliant job. I'd highly recommend this clinic.
I visited the My Hearing Clinic knowing I needed a hearing assessment but thinking it was just a build up of wax. It came as a shock that I heard a hearing loss which needed addressing. The service I received from Andrew was outstanding! He explained my hearing loss and went through all my options. He recognised that it was a lot of information to take in so made a follow up appointment, giving me sufficient time to think about what I wanted to do. From start to finish the service has been excellent, efficient, professional and friendly from the moment you walk through the door and meet Lee. The clinic is well located, parking on site, high standard of cleanliness. Definitely a recommendation from me. Thank you!
Absolutely first class treatment and experience at this wonderful clinic. Staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly Mr Morgan the consultant was lovely explaining everything. I had YAG laser treatment painless no discomfort and almost immediate corrected vision. Thank you all so very very much.
