Material and Methods: This prospective study was carried out from April 2014 to August 2016. A total of 16 eyes of 14 children underwent YAG laser capsulotomy. All the procedures were done by first two authors. Results: 16 eyes of 14 children underwent YAG laser capsulotomy. 14 eyes of 12 children had successful laser while in 2 eyes of 2 children laser could not be completed because of poor co-operation. Average age of 14 children undergoing laser was 3 years and 205.07 days while average age of 12 children having successful laser was 3 years and 198.66 days. Youngest child having successful laser was 3 years and 89 days.
