About this course
Posterior Capsulotomy (or YAG laser Capsulotomy) is laser surgery you might need sometime after cataract surgery. It helps the patient to see clearly if the vision becomes cloudy again. This procedure is done by the doctor, however, the assisting AOP should know her roles and responsibilities.
