Photodisruption

Photodisruption is a proven YAG laser treatment widely accepted as the standard of care treatment in cases of secondary cataract  (capsulotomy) and closed angle glaucoma  (iridotomy), and related disorders.

It is the process of utilizing very quick bursts of an intensely focused laser source directed into the area of the eye where “plasma” is formed. This results in an acoustic pressure wave which disrupts and punctures the tissue.
