YAG Hyaloidotomy
YAG Hyaloidotomy is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure offered at Desai Eye Hospital, designed to treat conditions associated with the vitreous gel of the eye. This laser treatment involves using a YAG laser to make a precise opening in the hyaloid membrane, which is the structure that separates the vitreous from the retina. By creating this opening, the procedure helps to alleviate conditions such as vitreous traction, reducing the risk of retinal tears or detachment.
This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing floaters, vitreous detachment, or those at risk of retinal complications. By relieving pressure and traction on the retina, YAG Hyaloidotomy can prevent more severe eye conditions from developing, thus preserving vision.
The procedure is quick, safe, and typically requires no incisions. Using a laser, the ophthalmologist targets specific areas of the hyaloid membrane to create a controlled opening. This precision allows for targeted treatment with minimal risk of complications.
At Desai Eye Hospital, our skilled ophthalmologists use the latest laser technology to perform YAG Hyaloidotomy, ensuring optimal outcomes for patients seeking relief from vitreous-related issues.
How Does It Work?

- The laser creates a precise opening to reduce vitreous traction.
- This relieves pressure on the retina, preventing tears or detachment.
- The procedure is non-invasive, with no incisions required.
- It treats conditions like vitreous floaters and detachment.
- The laser is used with high precision to minimize risk.
- The opening improves vitreous movement and retinal health.
- Follow-ups monitor healing and retinal condition.
