Yag Laser

YAG Laser Procedure

1. Preoperative Evaluation: Before the YAG laser procedure, a thorough eye examination is conducted to assess the specific condition and determine the suitability for treatment.

2. Patient Comfort: The YAG laser procedure is performed in a comfortable and outpatient setting, often requiring minimal or no anesthesia.

3. Treatment for Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO): YAG laser treatment is commonly employed to address PCO, a condition that may develop after cataract surgery. The laser is used to create an opening in the cloudy posterior capsule, restoring clear vision.

4. Treatment for Glaucoma: YAG laser can also be used for selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in glaucoma management, helping to improve the drainage of intraocular fluid and reduce intraocular pressure.

5. Peripheral Iridotomy: In cases of narrow-angle glaucoma, YAG laser is utilized to create a small hole in the peripheral iris, promoting better fluid drainage and reducing the risk of acute glaucoma attacks.
