Procedure Details
At our Bristol clinics — located at Spire Bristol Hospital and Nuffield Health Bristol Hospital — YAG laser capsulotomy is a quick, outpatient procedure performed by Mr. Mo Majid, a leading expert in laser and lens-based eye surgery.
Step-by-Step: What to Expect
Pre-Procedure:
- You’ll attend a consultation with Mr. Majid, who will confirm if you’re experiencing posterior capsular opacification (PCO), often referred to as a "secondary cataract."
- On the day of your procedure, you’ll be given eye drops to dilate the pupil, and a topical anesthetic to numb the eye — no needles or injections.
During the Procedure:
- You’ll be seated comfortably at a laser machine.
- Mr. Majid will use a specialised YAG laser to create a tiny opening in the cloudy lens capsule behind your IOL (artificial lens).
- The treatment is painless, takes just a few minutes, and involves no incisions or stitches.
Same-Day Discharge:
- You can go home shortly after the procedure.
- Most patients are able to resume normal activities within 24 hours, though you should avoid driving until your vision stabilises.
Recovery Timeframe:
- Visual improvement is often immediate, with clearer vision typically returning within 24–48 hours.
- You may experience mild floaters, glare, or light sensitivity for a few days.
- Mr. Majid may prescribe anti-inflammatory eye drops to aid recovery.
- One follow-up appointment may be arranged at our Bristol clinic to ensure your eye is healing well.
