YAG Laser Treatment
YAG laser treatment is a method frequently used in the treatment of various vision problems. The most common reason for its use is the treatment of clouding that can develop over time in the posterior capsule in patients who have previously undergone cataract surgery. During cataract surgery, after your cataract lens is removed, the replacement lens is placed inside a thin membrane called the capsule. This thin membrane layer that keeps the lens in place can thicken or become cloudy over time in every eye. This is a natural process and is not related to a complication that occurred during surgery.
YAG laser treatment is used to eliminate the cloudiness caused by this process. During the procedure, the eye doctor uses laser light to clean the cloudy parts inside the eye, and the treatment is completed within seconds. This allows the patient's vision to become clear again. The recovery process of the procedure is short, and the risk of complications is very low.
Who is Suitable for YAG Laser Treatment?
YAG Laser Treatment is usually applied to people who develop cloudiness in the posterior capsule after cataract surgery. However, it may not be suitable for every patient. Your eye doctor will evaluate your condition and decide whether YAG Laser Treatment is suitable for you.
How Much Does YAG Laser Treatment Cost?
The cost of YAG laser treatment varies depending on the underlying cause, the operation to be performed, and the special examination and detailed measurements to be made for your eye. The treatment plan created by our specialist eye doctor based on the results of a detailed examination may vary from person to person.
