Posterior Capsule Opacification - Treatment by YAG - Laser

Senile cataract is the most common eye disease treated surgically. About 50 % of the patients treated surgically of cataracts are suffering from posterior capsule opacification (PCO) that is developing within five years after  surgery and dims the posterior part of the capsule of the eye lens.

In our practice you can be treated against such a posterior capsule opacification (PCO). In treatment I am using a Yag laser in order to make a hole into the milky capsule and provide a clear vision again. This procedure is practically painless and is performed ambulatory.
