Posterior capsulotomy is a procedure performed to treat posterior capsule opacification (PCO), a common complication after cataract surgery where the posterior capsule becomes cloudy, affecting vision. The procedure involves using a YAG laser to create an opening in the cloudy capsule, allowing light to pass through and restore clear vision.
Posterior capsulotomy is a quick and minimally invasive procedure, typically performed on an outpatient basis. It significantly improves vision and is highly effective in treating PCO, providing fast relief for patients with blurry vision after cataract surgery.
