What is YAG Laser Capsulotomy?
If you have developed posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery, YAG Laser Capsulotomy can help restore your vision. Learn more about PCO on our Posterior Capsule Opacification page. YAG Laser Capsulotomy is a safe and effective procedure used to treat posterior capsule opacification (PCO), a common condition that can develop after cataract surgery. PCO occurs when the lens capsule, which holds the intraocular lens (IOL) implant, becomes clouded, leading to blurred vision and glare. This procedure restores clear vision by creating an opening in the cloudy capsule, allowing light to pass through freely to the retina.

Posterior capsule opacification can develop gradually, leading to symptoms such as: PCO can cause symptoms similar to cataracts, including:
- Blurred or hazy vision
