YAG Laser Capsulotomy

After cataract surgery, the capsule behind your new lens can sometimes become cloudy — this is called posterior capsule opacification (PCO). YAG laser capsulotomy uses a quick, painless laser to make a small opening in the cloudy capsule, letting light through again so your vision clears.
