Laser Treatment
In-clinic laser procedures for retinal and post-cataract concerns.
What this service covers
- YAG and retinal lasers performed in the clinic
- Short, walk-in walk-out procedures
- Post-procedure review to confirm the result
Eye laser treatment is not one single procedure. Different lasers are used for specific retinal conditions, glaucoma-related indications or clouding behind an artificial lens after cataract surgery. The examination must confirm the diagnosis and that laser is the appropriate option.
Why an eye laser may be advised
- Retinal treatment to reduce a particular risk or manage leaking or abnormal blood vessels
- YAG laser for clinically significant clouding of the capsule behind an artificial lens
- A glaucoma-related indication after assessment of the pressure, angle and optic nerve
Assessment and the treatment visit
The doctor confirms the target, explains the aim and discusses alternatives and limitations. Drops may be used to dilate or numb the eye. During treatment, a contact lens may steady the eye and focus the laser. The duration and sensation depend on the laser and condition being treated.
Laser is generally performed without an overnight stay, but that does not mean every patient can resume every activity immediately. Vision may be temporarily blurred from drops or treatment, and someone may need to accompany the patient home.
Recovery and warning symptoms
Use prescribed drops and attend the planned review. The doctor will explain the expected response and whether further treatment may be needed. Increasing pain, marked redness, a sudden fall in vision or new flashes, floaters or a shadow should be reported promptly.
Frequently asked questions
Is eye laser treatment painful?
Most laser treatments cause little or no pain. You may feel brief flashes of light or mild discomfort. YAG laser takes a few minutes; retinal laser may take longer. Both are walk-in, walk-out procedures.
When is YAG laser needed?
YAG laser is most often used to clear a thickened capsule behind the lens implant months or years after cataract surgery — a common, quick fix for cloudy vision after cataract surgery.
