A quick and painless procedure often needed after cataract surgery. This laser eliminates posterior capsular opacifications (PCO), which occur after roughly 20% of cataract extractions and can blur vision months or years after an otherwise successful surgery. If your vision has regressed since cataract surgery, you may have PCO, and YAG capsulotomy is the standard treatment.
Read the full YAG capsulotomy guide for candidacy, what to expect, and recovery.
For carefully selected patients with large, persistent, visually disabling floaters, YAG laser vitreolysis can break up the floater so it is less noticeable. Candidate selection requires a thorough dilated retinal exam; not every floater is appropriate for laser treatment.

Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a common and effective way to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). Uncontrolled IOP leads to optic nerve damage, which is known as glaucoma. This irreversible form of vision loss requires quick intervention to prevent eventual blindness. SLT has revolutionized IOP management and at Surgical Eye Experts, we offer it as first-line treatment for glaucoma (and even pre-glaucoma).
This quick and painless laser stimulates and rejuvenates the drainage system of the eye. It is equally as effective as many other glaucoma interventions and can be applied multiple times if needed. Using eye drops is cumbersome and many times expensive. SLT is a non-invasive solution that can simplify the complexities of glaucoma management.
For surgical glaucoma options, see our MIGS glaucoma surgery page (iStent and Durysta) and the main glaucoma treatment page.
Narrow angle closure is a serious form of acute glaucoma. It occurs when narrow drainage angles in the eye shut close, leading to a rapid increase in IOP. It causes severe pain and acn result in irreversible vision loss. At Surgical Eye Experts, we offer peripheral iridotomy (PI) as a quick and effective laser treatment to prevent acute glaucoma attacks.
This comfortable, non-invasive procedure creates a small opening in the peripheral iris (colored part of the eye), ensuring proper fluid flow and reducing the risk of angle closure. PI is a preventive and durable solution with minimal recovery time, ensuring your vision remains protected.
