ND-YAG Laser for Posterior Capsular Opacification(PCO)

At Dr. Parthasarathy Memorial Hospital, our skilled ophthalmologists specialize in ND-YAG laser treatment for PCO. We utilize advanced laser technology and prioritize patient safety and satisfaction to provide effective solutions for restoring clear vision and improving overall eye health.

Posterior Capsular Opacification(PCO)

ND-YAG laser is a specialized laser technology used to treat posterior capsular opacification (PCO), which is a common complication that can occur after cataract surgery. PCO refers to the clouding or thickening of the posterior capsule, the thin membrane that holds the artificial intraocular lens (IOL) in place. This condition can cause blurred vision, glare, and difficulty in seeing clearly. ND-YAG laser treatment is a safe and effective procedure that aims to restore clear vision by creating a small opening in the opacified posterior capsule.

ND-YAG laser for PCO is a non-invasive outpatient procedure performed by our experienced ophthalmologists. The procedure starts with the application of numbing eye drops to ensure patient comfort. A special contact lens is then placed on the eye to focus the laser accurately. The laser emits a focused beam of light that passes through the front part of the eye and targets the posterior capsule. The laser energy creates a precise opening in the cloudy area, allowing light to pass through and reach the retina. This results in improved vision and reduced visual disturbances caused by PCO.

The Treatment Options ND-YAG Laser for Posterior Capsular Opacification(PCO)

ND-YAG laser technology offers an effective and long-lasting treatment for PCO, providing quick restoration of clear vision and improving visual quality.

Visual Disturbances

Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) can cause blurred vision, glare, and reduced visual acuity, impacting daily activities.

Effective Treatment

ND-YAG laser technology is a quick and long-lasting treatment for PCO, restoring clear vision and improving visual quality.

Treatment of (POC)

ND-YAG laser treatment involves creating a small opening in the opacified posterior capsule, allowing clear passage of light and restoring clear vision.

Causes of (POC)

Posterior Capsular Opacification can occur due to various factors, including the remaining lens epithelial cells after cataract surgery that start to proliferate leading to the clouding.

Functions

Our skilled optometrists and ophthalmologists conduct a variety of procedures throughout a ND-YAG Laser for Posterior Capsular Opacification(PCO) at Dr. Parthasarathy Memorial Hospital to analyse and assess your refractive power.

Opening the Cloudy Capsule

ND-YAG laser treatment precisely creates a small opening in the cloudy posterior capsule, allowing unobstructed passage of light and improving vision.

Restoring Visual Clarity

y eliminating the cloudiness in the posterior capsule, the laser treatment helps restore clear vision and improve visual quality, reducing glare and enhancing overall visual acuity.

Minimally Invasive

ND-YAG laser treatment for PCO is a non-invasive procedure that does not require incisions or sutures. It is performed using a focused laser beam, ensuring minimal disruption to the eye.

Quick and Painless

The procedure is generally quick, often taking only a few minutes, and is typically painless. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during or after the treatment.

Rapid Visual Recovery

Following ND-YAG laser treatment, many patients notice an immediate improvement in vision. The recovery period is minimal, allowing patients to return to their normal activities soon after the procedure.

Enhanced Quality of Life

ND-YAG laser treatment for PCO can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals experiencing visual disturbances caused by posterior capsular opacification

Our Benefits

01

Improved Visual Acuity

ND-YAG laser treatment effectively removes the opacified posterior capsule, resulting in improved visual acuity and clearer vision.

Enhanced Contrast Sensitivity

By eliminating the cloudiness caused by PCO, the procedure improves contrast sensitivity, enabling patients to perceive details and colors more accurately.

02

Quick and Convenient

ND-YAG laser treatment is a relatively quick procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting. Patients can usually return home shortly after the treatment and resume their daily.

03

Long-lasting Results

Once the posterior capsule is treated with the laser, the clouding is permanently resolved, and the improved vision typically remains stable over time.

04

Application of ND-YAG Laser for Posterior Capsular Opacification(PCO)

ND-YAG laser treatment is a safe and effective procedure used to address posterior capsular opacification, a common complication following cataract surgery. This condition causes clouding or thickening of the posterior capsule, resulting in blurred vision and visual disturbances. Our experienced ophthalmologists utilize ND-YAG laser technology to create a small opening in the opacified posterior capsule, restoring clear vision and reducing visual disturbances.

The treatment is a non-invasive outpatient procedure, minimally disruptive, and typically quick and painless. Patients often experience immediate improvement in vision, with long-lasting results. ND-YAG laser treatment enhances visual comfort, improves quality of life, and provides safe and effective resolution of posterior capsular opacification.
