Post-Cataract Laser Treatment for Optimal Vision

At Clark Cataract Center, we specialize in advanced care with YAG laser surgery, a precise solution for restoring clear vision after cataract surgery. This in-office procedure treats posterior capsular opacification (PCO), a common issue that can cause blurry vision months or even years after cataract surgery.

YAG laser surgery is a quick, painless procedure that uses focused laser energy to create a window in the cloudy membrane (posterior capsule) behind the intraocular lens. This membrane can sometimes thicken after cataract surgery, leading to diminished vision.

Here’s what to expect during YAG laser surgery: 

  • The outpatient procedure takes only a few minutes in our office.
  • Localized numbing drops ensure a comfortable experience.
  • The laser precisely clears the cloudiness without incisions, restoring sharp vision.
  • Patients can return to normal activities immediately, with no lengthy recovery needed.
  • Most patients can drive themselves home after their procedure.

YAG laser surgery at Clark Cataract Center provides a safe and effective way to regain crisp, clear vision. Contact our team today to schedule a consultation and take the next step toward optimal eye health!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does YAG laser capsulotomy cost?

The cost of a YAG laser capsulotomy can vary depending your individual situation and your insurance coverage. If you have insurance, it may cover part or all of the procedure, so it's best to check with your provider for exact costs. Dr. Clark and his team will discuss all of this with you during your consultation.

Why might I need laser eye treatment after cataract surgery?

You might need laser eye treatment after cataract surgery if you develop a condition called posterior capsular opacification (PCO). PCO occurs when the back of the lens capsule, which holds the artificial lens in place, becomes cloudy over time. This can cause blurry vision, similar to having cataracts again. Laser treatment, specifically a YAG laser capsulotomy, is a quick and painless procedure used to clear the cloudiness and restore clear vision.

Is post-cataract laser treatment painful?

Post-cataract laser treatment is typically not painful. Most patients only feel mild discomfort or a slight sensation during the procedure, as it is quick and minimally invasive.
