Quick, painless YAG laser treatment can restore your clarity.
Months or even years after cataract surgery, some patients experience cloudy vision again due to posterior capsule opacification (PCO). If you’ve noticed glare, blurred sight, or halos around lights, YAG laser capsulotomy can help.
This quick, painless laser procedure clears the clouded capsule in minutes, restoring crisp vision with no need for additional surgery. Dr. Pratibha offers this service as part of her continued commitment to your long-term visual health.

What is YAG Laser Capsulotomy?
YAG laser capsulotomy is a quick, painless outpatient procedure used to restore clear vision after cataract surgery. Some months—or even years—after your cataract operation, you may notice your vision becoming blurred again. This is often caused by posterior capsule opacification (PCO), a common condition where the capsule holding your artificial lens becomes cloudy. Using a precise laser, Dr. Pratibha creates a tiny opening in the cloudy capsule, allowing light to pass through clearly to the retina. The procedure is highly effective and usually restores vision within minutes.
