Yag laser: During cataract surgey, the back part of the cataract is left in the eye to support the artificial lens implant. Over time, this support may haze over. If so, the yag laser can be applied to the eye, in the office or outpatient center.The laser clears, or dissolves the vision obscuring portion of the remaining cataract. Thus restoring the vision to the early postoperative state.

YAG after Crystalens: YAG capsulotomy’s outcomes are highly predictable & good results thus can provide immediate visual improvements in most cases. I generally wait at least 3 months before performing a selective YAG capsulotomy depending on where the capsular opacification is located. The YAG helps the Crystalens move again if bound down by the opacification.
