Secondary Cataracts Treatment in Dubai | YAG Laser Capsulotomy by Dr. Amit Jain
Secondary Cataracts Treatment in Dubai – Regain Clear Vision with Dr. Amit Jain
Experiencing blurry vision after cataract surgery? Dr. Amit Jain offers advanced YAG laser capsulotomy in Dubai to effectively treat secondary cataracts and restore clear vision.
Introduction: Understanding Secondary Cataracts
If you’ve undergone cataract surgery and are now noticing a return of blurry vision, you might be experiencing a common postoperative complication known as a secondary cataract, or posterior capsule opacification (PCO). This condition occurs when the lens capsule, which holds the artificial intraocular lens (IOL) in place, becomes cloudy over time, leading to vision impairment. Fortunately, this issue is treatable with a quick and painless laser procedure.

What Are Secondary Cataracts?
Secondary cataracts develop when residual lens epithelial cells proliferate and migrate across the posterior capsule, leading to its opacification. This clouding hinders light from passing through the lens to the retina, resulting in symptoms similar to the original cataract. It’s important to note that secondary cataracts are not a recurrence of the original cataract but a separate condition affecting the lens capsule.
Treatment Approach: YAG Laser Capsulotomy
The standard treatment for secondary cataracts is a YAG (Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet) laser capsulotomy. This outpatient procedure involves using a laser to create a small opening in the cloudy posterior capsule, allowing light to pass through and restore clear vision.
