How Nd:YAG Vitreolysis is performed
This treatment is performed on a slit lamp platform, commonly using a Nd:YAG laser, with a contact lens and mydriasis to obtain a clear field of vision. The doctor usually locates floaters with clear boundaries, far from the lens and retina, under a microscope, gradually releases appropriate energy to fragment or vaporize them, and pays attention to the optical path and safe distance, monitoring the cornea and intraocular pressure during the process. Short-term postoperative follow-up evaluates inflammation and intraocular pressure changes, with the goal of reducing floater interference. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
