Description
Zeiss Visulas YAG III — Refurbished Nd:YAG Ophthalmic Laser for Posterior Capsulotomy and LPI
The Zeiss Visulas YAG III is one of the most trusted Nd:YAG ophthalmic laser systems in clinical practice — a precision instrument built on Zeiss engineering for controlled, reproducible energy delivery in posterior capsulotomy, laser peripheral iridotomy, and vitreolysis. This refurbished Zeiss Visulas YAG III has been fully tested and calibrated, with verified laser output, making it ready for immediate clinical use at a fraction of new instrument cost. For any cataract practice performing aftercare, the Visulas YAG III provides the procedure reliability and optical quality that surgeons depend on.
Clinical evidence published in the National Library of Medicine confirms that Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is the standard of care for posterior capsule opacification following cataract surgery — a procedure performed on a significant percentage of all cataract patients within 2–5 years of implantation, making in-office YAG capability essential for any high-volume cataract practice.
What’s Included
- Zeiss Visulas YAG III laser system
- Slit lamp delivery unit
- Standard accessories and cables
- 6-month Digital Eye Center warranty
Why Surgeons Choose the Zeiss Visulas YAG III
- Zeiss precision coaxial aiming beam — accurate, reproducible targeting for posterior capsulotomy; the coaxial design minimizes energy delivery error and reduces the risk of IOL pitting
- Calibrated energy control — adjustable pulse energy with fine incremental control for both delicate anterior segment work and efficient posterior capsule opening
- Single and burst-mode pulse options — single-pulse mode for LPI and precise anterior work; burst mode for efficient PCO treatment in dense or fibrotic capsules
- Slit lamp integrated delivery — ergonomic slit lamp base provides comfortable, stable patient positioning and precise focusing for both surgeon and patient
- Fully calibrated output — laser energy output verified and calibrated before shipment; ready for clinical procedures on delivery
- Zeiss build quality — durable, serviceable construction with a long service life; parts and service support widely available for the Visulas platform
- Refurbished with 6-month warranty — fully tested system at a fraction of new instrument cost with warranty coverage included
Procedures Performed
- Posterior capsulotomy (PCO treatment) — the primary indication; Nd:YAG laser opening of the posterior capsule following cataract surgery to restore visual acuity in patients with posterior capsule opacification
- Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) — creates a small opening in the peripheral iris to treat or prevent angle-closure glaucoma; an essential in-office procedure for glaucoma practices
- Anterior vitreous face disruption (vitreolysis) — disrupts anterior vitreous strands or floaters that cause visual symptoms
- Synechiolysis — breaks posterior synechiae (adhesions between iris and lens capsule) in inflammatory or post-surgical cases
Who This Is For
- Cataract surgeons performing in-office aftercare — PCO occurs in a significant percentage of cataract patients within 5 years; in-office YAG capability eliminates referrals and captures aftercare revenue
- Glaucoma practices performing LPI — the Visulas YAG III is the laser of choice for peripheral iridotomy in narrow-angle and angle-closure glaucoma patients
- High-volume comprehensive ophthalmology offices — a single refurbished Visulas YAG III handles the full volume of PCO and LPI procedures for most practice sizes
- Ambulatory surgery centers — in-office YAG laser adds a high-margin procedure to the ASC menu without a large capital investment
- Practices replacing aging YAG equipment — the Visulas YAG III is a direct upgrade path from older Zeiss or competing YAG platforms with a familiar slit lamp delivery interface
