Laser Surgery after Cataract Surgery

During cataract surgery a clear capsule is left in place to support the lens implant. In some cases this capsule may turn cloudy months or years following surgery. If this occurs, an outpatient laser procedure that is performed in our office will quickly restore good vision.
