What is YAG laser capsulotomy?

If your vision becomes cloudy again after cataract surgery, you may be experiencing a common condition called posterior capsule opacification (PCO). This happens when the lens capsule — the thin membrane left in place to support the artificial lens — becomes cloudy over time.

YAG laser capsulotomy is a simple, non-invasive procedure designed to restore your vision quickly and safely:

It's an outpatient procedure, meaning no hospital stay is required, and you can return to normal activities shortly after.

Choosing to undergo YAG laser capsulotomy abroad, especially in Turkey, allows you to access expert care, advanced technology, and affordable treatment — all in one seamless experience.

Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO): Causes & Symptoms

Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is one of the most common complications that can occur after cataract surgery. It happens when residual lens cells grow on the back of the lens capsule, creating a cloudy membrane that partially blocks light from reaching the retina.

What Causes PCO?

Several factors can contribute to the development of PCO, including:

Common Symptoms

PCO can feel like your cataract is returning. The most frequent symptoms include:

While PCO is a benign condition, it can significantly interfere with your daily life. The good news is that it's easily treatable with a quick, non-invasive laser procedure called YAG laser capsulotomy, which restores clear vision within minutes.

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms after cataract surgery, it's important to consult an eye specialist. In many cases, a YAG capsulotomy is all that's needed to see clearly again.

Preparing for YAG Laser Capsulotomy: What to Expect

Although YAG laser capsulotomy is a quick and painless outpatient procedure, proper preparation is essential to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the process.

Here are the key steps involved:

  1. Pre-treatment consultation: Before the procedure, an ophthalmologist will assess your vision, check intraocular pressure, and confirm that a capsulotomy is necessary. Additional eye exams may be performed to evaluate the overall health of your eye.
  2. Local anesthesia: Numbing eye drops are applied to desensitize the surface of the eye. This makes the procedure completely painless — no need for general anesthesia or sedation.
  3. Patient positioning: You'll be comfortably seated in front of the YAG laser device. Your head and eye are gently stabilized to allow for maximum precision during the treatment.
  4. Laser adjustment and targeting:The laser is carefully calibrated to treat only the affected area, ensuring accuracy down to the millimeter while protecting surrounding eye structures.
  5. Before the procedure: On the day of your treatment, avoid wearing makeup or applying creams around the eyes. You may wish to bring someone with you, although you'll be able to leave the clinic shortly after the procedure.

With Turquie Santé, you benefit from expert care and personalized support every step of the way.

Recovery After YAG Laser Capsulotomy in Turkey

Recovery after a YAG laser capsulotomy is typically quick, smooth, and free from major complications. Most patients notice a significant improvement in vision within just a few hours after the procedure.

After your YAG laser capsulotomy, you'll quickly regain clear and comfortable vision, supported by attentive post-operative care and follow-up with your specialist.

Possible Complications and Side Effects of YAG Laser Capsulotomy

YAG laser capsulotomy is considered a very safe and effective procedure, especially when performed by experienced ophthalmologists. However, as with any medical intervention, there are some potential risks — most of them rare and manageable.

Below are the most commonly reported side effects and complications:

ComplicationDescriptionFrequency / Management
Increased intraocular pressureA temporary rise in eye pressure after the procedure.Rare; easily managed with prescription eye drops.
Macular edemaSwelling of the central retina that can temporarily affect vision.Very rare; usually reversible with appropriate treatment.
Retinal detachmentThe retina separates from the back of the eye, requiring surgical repair.Extremely rare; occurs mainly in high-risk patients.
Secondary opacificationA new clouding of the capsule in rare cases.May require a repeat laser procedure.
Mild discomfort or irritationBurning, light sensitivity, or a foreign body sensation in the eye.Temporary; usually resolves within a few hours to days.

Overall, this procedure remains highly effective and well tolerated for correcting capsule opacification after cataract surgery.
