Procedure Details – YAG Laser Eye Surgery in Newport
At St Joseph’s Hospital in Newport, YAG laser capsulotomy is a fast, walk-in/walk-out treatment performed by Mr. Mo Majid, a highly experienced consultant in cataract and laser eye surgery. The entire process is designed to be efficient, painless, and stress-free — with most patients seeing clearer within 24 hours.
Step-by-Step: What to Expect
Before the Procedure:
Your journey begins with a one-to-one consultation with Mr. Majid, who will confirm whether you have posterior capsular opacification (PCO) — the most common cause of cloudy vision following successful cataract surgery.
On the day of your laser treatment:
- You’ll receive dilating eye drops to widen the pupil.
- A numbing eye drop is applied — no needles or injections involved.
- You'll then be positioned comfortably at the laser station.
During the Procedure:
Mr. Majid uses a precise YAG laser to make a tiny opening in the rear capsule behind your artificial lens, allowing light to pass through clearly again.
- The procedure is completely painless.
- It takes just a few minutes.
- There are no cuts, no stitches, and no physical contact with the eye.
Same-Day Discharge:
You’ll be free to leave the hospital shortly after the procedure — no downtime required. Most patients return to normal light activities the same day, although we advise waiting until your vision stabilises before driving.
Visual Recovery Timeline:
- Many patients report sharper vision within hours.
- Some mild floaters or light sensitivity may occur temporarily.
- You may be given anti-inflammatory drops to support healing.
- If needed, a follow-up review at our Newport clinic will ensure everything is progressing well.
