YAG Laser Capsulotomy and Peripheral Iridotomy — precise, quick, and highly effective laser treatments.
At Chopra's Eye and Dental Care, we offer two important laser procedures for eye health. YAG Laser Capsulotomy treats posterior capsular opacification (PCO) — a common occurrence after cataract surgery where the lens capsule becomes cloudy, reducing vision. Peripheral Iridotomy (PI) creates a small opening in the peripheral iris to treat and prevent acute angle-closure glaucoma. Both are quick, painless outpatient procedures with excellent results.
