YAG Laser Capsulotomy in Turkey

YAG laser capsulotomy makes an opening in a cloudy lens capsule after cataract surgery or lens replacement. It is considered when posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is affecting vision. Revitalize coordinates assessment and treatment in Izmir with its contracted eye hospital and ophthalmologists.

Request an ophthalmology assessment

Is this another cataract operation?

The artificial lens usually stays in place. The laser treats the membrane behind it, rather than removing a new cataract. Blurred vision after lens surgery has several possible causes, so an examination must confirm PCO before treatment is offered.

Assessment and treatment

Bring your previous operation report, lens details and current medicines. Your ophthalmologist checks vision, eye pressure and the back of the eye. Treatment is usually performed at a laser machine with eye drops; pressure checks and any prescribed drops form part of the individual plan.

Benefits and risks

Clearing the capsule can improve vision affected by PCO, but cannot reverse unrelated retinal or optic nerve damage. Possible effects include floaters, inflammation, raised pressure and marks on the implant. Retinal detachment, macular swelling or lens displacement are uncommon but potentially serious complications.

Recovery and travel

Arrange an escort if your vision is blurred after drops. Ask when driving, flying and normal activities are appropriate. New flashes, a sudden increase in floaters, a curtain over vision or worsening pain require urgent local eye care. Do not wait for a travel appointment.

What should my quotation cover?

Request a written estimate specifying one or both eyes, consultation, examinations, laser treatment, pressure checks and follow-up. Accommodation and transfers should be itemised if needed. A short procedure does not automatically make overseas travel the best choice; compare the complete journey with local care.
