Book a ConsultationWhat is YAG laser treatment?
YAG laser treatment is a precise, minimally invasive procedure designed to clear posterior capsular opacification (PCO) that can occur after cataract surgery.
This condition, often referred to as an after-cataract, creates a cloudy layer on the back of the lens capsule, affecting your vision.
YAG laser treatment effectively removes this cloudiness, restoring clear vision and improving your quality of life.
Benefits of YAG laser treatment?
Our expert ophthalmologists use state-of-the-art YAG laser technology to provide the highest standard of care.
We tailor each treatment to your specific needs to ensure the best possible outcome.
- Quick and Painless: The procedure is performed in a few minutes and is generally painless, with most patients reporting no significant discomfort.
- Effective Vision Restoration: YAG laser treatment efficiently removes the cloudy layer, enhancing vision clarity and quality.
- One-Time Procedure: Typically, only one treatment session is needed, as the capsule does not regrow after being treated.
- Minimal Downtime: Recovery is swift, with most patients resuming normal activities almost immediately.

PATIENT JOURNEY
How does YAG laser treatment work?
YAG laser treatment is performed using a laser that targets and clears the cloudy layer on the back of the lens capsule. Here’s how it works:
Preparation
Your eye will be dilated with special drops to provide a clear view of the capsule.
Laser Application
A magnifying contact lens may be used to focus the YAG laser on the cloudy layer. The laser vaporizes the cloudy tissue, clearing your vision.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, anti-inflammatory and pressure-regulating eye drops will be prescribed to support healing. Most patients experience improved vision within a day.

Before Your Consultation
Get Ready for Your OCL Vision Consultation
To help you feel comfortable and make the most of your visit, we’ve outlined a few simple steps to prepare for your consultation at OCL Vision. Please take a moment to review them before your appointment.
1. Book Your Appointment
Submit an enquiry through our website or call our team on 0203 369 2020. We will guide you through the booking process and take payment of a deposit or full consultation fee, depending on your appointment type.
2. Discontinue Contact Lenses
Please stop wearing contact lenses on the day of your consultation at a minimum. Some lens types may require a longer break, and our team will advise you accordingly based on your lens type.
3. Access Your Patient Portal
You will receive secure login details to access your personal OCL Vision patient portal. Here, you can view appointment times, payment balances and important updates.
4. Plan Your Travel
Your eyes will be dilated during the consultation, so you will not be able to drive afterwards. Please arrange alternative transport or speak to us about our travel concierge service if you need assistance.
5. Bring Sunglasses
Dilation can make your eyes sensitive to light for several hours. Sunglasses will help protect your eyes and make you more comfortable on your journey home.
6. Provide Referral Letters
If you have any referral letters from your GP or optometrist, please email them to us prior to your appointment or bring a copy with you.
What to Expect at Your Initial Consultation & YAG
Your visit to OCL Vision is designed to be thorough, personalised, and reassuring. During your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed assessment of your eye health, along with expert guidance on the best treatment options for your individual needs. The entire appointment takes approximately 1.5 hours and typically includes the following steps:
1. Check-In at Reception
On arrival, our friendly reception team will welcome you and confirm your details before guiding you through the next steps of your visit.
2. Advanced Diagnostic Testing
You will be seen by one of our highly trained clinical technicians who will carry out a series of advanced diagnostic scans using the latest technology. These tests provide a detailed picture of your eyes and are essential for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment planning.
3. Consultant Consultation
You will then meet with the consultant you originally booked with. They will review your scan results and visual assessment, discuss your goals and expectations, and explain any suitable treatment options. You will have time to ask questions and receive expert advice tailored to your individual case.
4. Undergo Your Procedure
You will then be taken into our state-of-the-art diagnostic room for your YAG. Our team will ensure you feel at ease throughout, and the procedure itself is typically quick and painless. A magnifying contact lens may be used to focus the YAG laser on the cloudy layer. The laser vaporises the cloudy tissue, clearing your vision.
5. Time to Rest
After the YAG, you will be escorted to our reception area, where you can rest briefly under the care of our nurses.
6. Heading Home
Once you are ready, you will be discharged with your aftercare pack and clear instructions. You will need someone to accompany you home, as you will not be able to drive, or speak to us about our travel concierge service if you need assistance.
Post YAG and Follow-Up
We believe your recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. That’s why our dedicated team is here to support you throughout the healing process. Your aftercare plan is carefully tailored to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible long-term results for your vision.
1. Follow Your Aftercare Instructions
Use your prescribed eye drops exactly as advised, and follow the guidance given to you on surgery day. This helps to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications.
2. We Are Here If You Need Us
If you experience any discomfort, unusual symptoms or concerns after your procedure, please contact us right away. You will have access to our dedicated emergency line for immediate support.
3. Attend Your Follow-Up Appointments
Your follow-up visits are essential for monitoring your healing and progress. Appointment details are visible in your patient portal. If you need to rearrange, simply contact our team and we will be happy to help.
4. Refer a Friend and Be Rewarded
You’ve experienced world-class care at OCL Vision, now it’s time to share it. When you refer a friend or family member, they’ll receive £200 off their surgery, and you’ll get a £25 Amazon gift voucher as a thank you once they’ve completed treatment. Because great vision is worth sharing.
