Laser Iridectomy 
 

Glaucoma, the increase in presure inside the eye, compresses and damages the optic nerve that carries information to the brain. A patient feels pain over the affected eye with blurring of vision. Some kinds of glaucoma may be treated with the Zeiss YAG laser surgery, without resorting to actual surgery. 
 

Panretinal Photocoagulation 

Diabetes causes blockage of the blood vessels of the retina of the eye. In order to supply the blocked areas, the eye resorts to formation of new blood vessels. These new blood vessels are very fragile, rupturing and releasing blood inside the eye. This will lead to clouding of vision. Zeiss ARGON laser surgery can limit the formation of these new vessels, prolonging useful vision.


Yag Capsulotomy 

Cataracts can only be removed by surgery. An intraocular lens is usually inserted during surgery to replace the eye's old lens. Usually the capsular bag hoding the lens becomes cloudy, blurring the patient's vision again (an 'after cataract'). This blurring is eliminated by punching a hole through the bag using the Zeiss YAG laser. Improvement of vision usually follows.
