Yag Laser Capsulotomy
Cataract surgery involves removal of the natural lens from within the eye. This lens is replaced by an artificial lens implant, placed inside a natural capsule (bag) within the eye. This capsule can become thickened and cause deterioration of vision. An opening in this capsule is made with a YAG laser to allow more light to enter inside the eye, and this helps to improve vision.
Central Serous Chorioretinopathy
Myopic Macular Degeneration
People with high myopia are at risk of permanent degenerative changes to the retina, due to elongation of the eye. This is called myopic macular degeneration when it affects the central retina
Posterior Vitreous Detachment
The eye is filled with a jelly like substance called vitreous, which maintains the shape of the eye and supplies it with nutrition and helps with focusing of light. The vitreous is attached loosely to the surface of the retina, which is the tissue at the back of the eye. In middle age (or earlier in short-sighted people), the vitreous jelly may shrink and pull away from the retina and this is known as a posterior vitreous detachment. Patients may experience flashing lights and floaters, which are often described as cobwebs or veils.
