Exeter Eye are pleased to announce the arrival of our latest laser, the Ellex Tango YAG & SLT laser.
This beautifully engineered laser is perfect for treating the ‘misty’ lens capsule behind your lens implant which occurs some time after cataract surgery, and restores your vision to how it was soon after your cataract operation. The misty membrane is ‘vapourised’ away by the YAG laser.
After cataract surgery (the most frequent operation in medicine), a misty lens capsule laser operation is the commonest treatment in medicine. The misty capsule is also known as ‘posterior capsular opacification’.

The common form of glaucoma, ‘open angle glaucoma’ is treated by the second laser in the Ellex Tango laser, the SLT laser. This treatment often means you don’t need eye drops for glaucoma, as the laser lowers the eye pressure and protects your eye from glaucoma damage.
