YAG Capsulotomy Procedure?

[FloridaJim57]

Had cataract surgery a few years back and all went very well. Vision is getting cloudy again and doc recommended YAG Capsultomy procedure to set things right again. Anyone have this done? Was it helpful?

It's extremely common. Takes five minutes and will fix you right up.

Had two, one for each eye. Second one was easy, the first resulted in a detached retina. While it was repaired by a specialist it took a year for my vision to be close to normal.

It's a very easy procedure, I think the doctor who did the first one was challenged by practicing medicine.

DH just had this done yesterday in fact, his vision back to 100% today.

Myself and others have mentioned their YAG procedures in my cataract thread.
