Photoreceptors in the Eyes and Laser for Capsulotomy
Dear Doctors:
I have to have a capsulotomy and was wondering if this procedure will damage the Photoreceptors or rods and cones in my eye. Does this bright light and heat damage this part of the eye? I read in one of the databases at the library that this was possible in a laser procedure.
Thank you

No. Obviously, it would not have been used to do millions of capsulotomies over many years. There are many types of laser.
