Yes that’s what happened , what was supposed to be a routine yearly check up, last visit the doc said it was minor and dismissed as not really needing attn. but pans out differently now ...... no choice ..... like 2 consultants came to see me apart from the one front line doc ..... very sinking feeling 

Like that even though going for yearly checkup also cannot means is safe. If can cure after op then no need worry so much.

Looks like going for yearly eye checkup is a must.

That one was prior operation for payment.

After operation then collect the invoice.

You know the procedure ...pay first before operation.😄

No pay no operation... joking.

You seem shock?

Not good to do yag? I remember yag only need to do it once after cataract surgery due to clouding lens. Pretty common according to the doctor.

Yeah .. that's true. 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.

Nothing wrong. 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.
