Preserving your vision and eye health is paramount.

• YAG laser capsulotomy is a specialised procedure to address posterior capsule opacification (PCO), a common condition following cataract surgery that can cause blurred vision and glare.
• Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treatment involves various interventions, including medication injections, laser therapy, or surgical procedures, aimed at slowing the progression of AMD, a leading cause of vision loss in older adults.
• Insurance coverage for these eye treatments can vary, and it's crucial to consult with your insurance provider to understand the extent of coverage. Self-pay options are also available for those without insurance or with limited coverage. Always discuss payment options with your eye care specialist.

What is YAG laser capsulotomy?

YAG laser capsulotomy is a specialised laser treatment designed to improve vision after cataract surgery. It targets posterior capsule opacification (PCO), a common postoperative condition where scar tissue forms behind the lens implant, causing blurred vision and glare. The procedure uses a YAG laser to create a small opening in the cloudy capsule, restoring clear passage of light to the retina.

What is age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treatment surgery?

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treatment surgery encompasses various interventions aimed at slowing the progression of AMD, a prevalent cause of vision impairment among the elderly. The macula, crucial for central vision, deteriorates with AMD. Depending on the AMD type—wet or dry—treatment may involve medication injections, laser therapy, or surgical intervention to preserve as much vision as possible.

Are these treatments covered by insurance or available for self-pay?

Coverage for eye treatments like YAG laser capsulotomy and AMD treatment surgery can differ by insurance policy. Verify with your insurer the extent of coverage for these procedures. For those without insurance or with partial coverage, self-pay options are available. Consultation with an eye care specialist is recommended to explore all available payment avenues and make informed decisions regarding treatment costs.
