Laser Treatment

Laser Treatment for Post-Op Cataracts

After cataract surgery, some people develop cloudiness on the posterior lens capsule, which can make vision blurry again. 

How it works:  A painless laser procedure called a YAG laser capsulotomy creates a small opening in the cloudy capsule, restoring the clarity that was achieved after cataract surgery. 

What to expect:  It’s quick (a few minutes), done in our office, and there’s no downtime.  Most people notice an immediate improvement in vision. 

Laser Treatment for Glaucoma (to lower eye pressure)

Glaucoma is a condition where in some cases high pressure is present that can damage the optic nerve.  There are a number of laser procedures that can help to control the pressure. 

What to expect:  These are outpatient procedures, often painless, and take 10-20 minutes.  They help lower eye pressure and may reduce the need for medication.  Regular check-ups are still needed.
