YAG laser capsulotomy
After cataract surgery, some patients may experience clouding in the capsule that holds the lens implant. This leads to what is commonly referred to as ‘Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO)’ or ‘secondary cataract’. We offer YAG laser capsulotomy at Blue Fin Vision Eye Clinic on Harley Street, London, which is a safe and effective laser treatment designed to address this issue. Furthermore, it can help to restore your vision to its post-operative best.
