Medical Conditions - Laser Capsulotomy

Laser capsulotomy is a noninvasive surgical procedure that uses a laser to create an opening in the opacified capsule to restore vision. Dr. Aron-Rosa and Dr. Fankhauser developed this technique in the early 1980s to treat posterior capsular opacification. The entire procedure is performed in under 20 to 45 minutes.
