what is capsular thickening
Capsule thickening. In a small number of patients the capsule thickens, and becomes a little opaque, like a frosted glass window. This stops the light reaching the back of the eye. If this happens, the sight become misty, and it can become difficult to see at night, or in sunlight.aser treatment makes a small hole in the centre of the capsule, and can restore the vision to how it was after the cataract operation. The treatment does not hurt, and is hardly noticeable. It takes about fifteen minutes; the laser machine is in the outpatient clinic.
