YAG laser capsulotomy in Liverpool costs about £550 per eye (around £700 for both eyes) as a private, one-off outpatient laser treatment. It clears posterior capsule opacification — the cloudy membrane that can form behind a lens implant after cataract surgery — and most patients see clearly again within a day or two.
How much is YAG laser capsulotomy in Liverpool?
Private YAG laser capsulotomy in Liverpool is typically £550 for one eye and around £700 for both, as a single all-inclusive price covering the consultant assessment, the laser treatment and a follow-up check. It is a painless, ~10-minute outpatient procedure with no incisions, stitches or sedation.
What is YAG laser capsulotomy?
YAG laser capsulotomy treats posterior capsule opacification (PCO), sometimes called a “secondary cataract” — a cloudy thickening of the lens capsule that can develop months or years after cataract surgery, causing blurred or hazy vision and glare. The laser makes a small opening in the cloudy capsule to restore clear vision. It is a one-off treatment and the cloudiness does not return.
NHS vs private YAG in Liverpool
YAG laser is available on the NHS, but capacity is limited and you may wait weeks to months for assessment and treatment. NHS eye care in Liverpool is provided by St Paul’s Eye Unit at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. Going private means assessment and laser usually within days, at a time that suits you, without a GP referral.
