Laser surgery has become increasingly popular as an alternative method of treating pressure.
New revolutionary device for the treatment of dry eyes due to Blepharitis/Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), the E-Eye IPL machine.
Complications after cataract surgery are unusual, but one of the most common is posterior capsular opacification or (PCO). Patients usually complain of cloudy or blurry vision.
Sometimes PCO is referred to as a "secondary cataract," however, it is not really a cataract. Once a cataract is removed, it does not come back. About 20 % of patients with uncomplicated cataract surgery develop haziness of the posterior capsule and therefore blurry vision.
YAG laser treatment can treat posterior capsular opacity safely and effectively. This procedure known as YAG laser capsulotomy takes only a few minutes and is painless.
YAG laser capsulotomy is a treatment which makes a small hole in the membrane behind the intraocular lens (IOL) in the eye. You will have a dilating drop instilled into the eye. Then using a specialised microscope adapted with a laser Mr. Golchin will focus a YAG laser on the cloudy membrane and with every pulse an opening is made in the posterior capsule.
Following YAG laser capsulotomy, you may resume normal activities immediately. You may experience some floaters afterwards. These will most likely resolve within a few weeks. Most people can expect their vision to improve within a day. As with any eye procedure, however, call your eye doctor immediately if vision worsens or fails to improve. Overall, YAG laser capsulotomy is a very safe procedure.

At 65, I now have better vision than when I was 17. I was required to wear glasses for driving (driver eye test). I now have 20/20 vision at a time in my life when I would be expected to be getting reduced vision. This is all down to Mr. Behrooz Golchin's expert skill and care. I have had both my cataracts removed and a retinal tear repaired using laser surgery. Fantastic! Now, if I could find a Mr. Behrooz Golchin who specialised in weight management, I would be home and dry.. My sincere thank to Mr. Behrooz Golcin and his team. Keep up the good work!
