What is a laser capsulotomy?
When you had your cataract removed, a thin, clear membrane was left behind to support your
new artificial lens. In about 20% of people this membrane becomes cloudy over time. This can make your sight seem misty or blurred. A laser can be used to make a hole in the centre of the membrane, allowing light to pass clearly to the retina at the back of the eye. The majority of patients who have a capsulotomy will experience an improvement in their vision.
