Types of Laser Eye Surgery Offered

We specialize in managing eye diseases and conditions. Find out how our laser treatments can help maintain your vision.

YAG Laser Iridotomy

YAG Laser Iridotomy is used to treat both primary-angle and angle-closure glaucoma. Anesthetic eye drops are administered, then a YAG laser is used to make a hole near the edge of the iris, allowing the drainage meshwork to be exposed and alleviate pressure.

YAG Capsulotomy

At cataract surgery , the natural lens capsule of the clouded natural lens (the cataract) is left in the eye to secure the artificial lens implant in place. This ‘capsule’ can cloud over time limiting the visual acuity. This can be easily and painlessly cleared in a few seconds with a Yag Laser Capsulotomy.

Vitreous Floaterectomy

For those who have that one big floater in their vision, resting in the middle of their vitreous gel, we have a special ‘Yag’ laser that can pulverize that one big bothersome floater into numerous minute tiny less obnoxious floaters. A careful assessment of the retina will first be done to rule out any risk factors.

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty is another surgical intervention for glaucoma. It is sometimes used in place of eye drops to lower intraocular pressure.

Refractive Laser Surgery: PRK

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a laser eye surgery option designed to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Unlike LASIK, PRK reshapes the cornea without creating a flap, making it an excellent option for people with thinner corneas or certain lifestyle considerations. During the procedure, the outer layer of the cornea is gently removed, and a laser precisely reshapes the underlying tissue to improve vision.

PRK offers long-lasting results and is a trusted alternative for patients seeking clear, unaided vision.
