YAG Laser for Treatment of After Cataract (Jhilli) & Glaucoma
At Chugh Eye Surgery Centre, we offer advanced YAG Laser treatment for managing two common conditions – After Cataract (also known as Posterior Capsular Opacification or Jhilli) and certain types of Glaucoma. The YAG Laser procedure is quick, painless, and highly effective in restoring vision and managing eye pressure.
What is After Cataract (Jhilli)?
After Cataract, or Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO), is a common condition that can occur months or years after successful cataract surgery. It leads to blurry vision due to clouding of the lens capsule behind the artificial lens implant. YAG Laser capsulotomy is the preferred treatment to quickly restore clear vision.
What is YAG Laser Capsulotomy?
YAG Laser Capsulotomy is a simple outpatient procedure where a laser is used to create a small opening in the cloudy capsule, allowing light to pass through and restoring clear vision without the need for incisions or stitches.
When is YAG Laser Recommended?
- Blurry or hazy vision after cataract surgery
- Difficulty reading or recognizing faces
- Glare or halos around lights
- Vision not improving with glasses or contact lenses
YAG Laser for Glaucoma
YAG Laser is also used to treat certain types of Glaucoma, such as angle-closure glaucoma. In a procedure called Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI), a tiny hole is created in the iris to improve fluid drainage and reduce intraocular pressure, preventing optic nerve damage.
