If can cure after op then no need worry so much. Looks like going for yearly eye checkup is a must. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember yag only need to do it once after cataract surgery due to clouding lens. Pretty common according to the doctor.

Not sure about her case though. So funny .. she was wearing glasses before she had the op. After the op, the lens corrected the vision for that eye. Then she started wearing contact lens for the other eye. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that most people don't have significant cataracts in their 40s/early 50s. If it's indicated, then operation definitely helps. I dunno much about YAG.
