Did this resolve? It has been almost a year since your post. Did the surgeon explain what caused this streak?
Thanks for sharing the photo. It is similar to mine in the right eye in terms of length and brightness but mine runs at a 45 degree angel (i.e 8 o'clock to 2 o'clock).
If it doesn't resolve on its own in another month or so (i.e. 3 months from surgery) , I'll see my surgeon who I haven't seen since surgery. (The confirmation of the wrinkle was by another doc in the surgeon's office the day after my second surgery and confirmed today by my optometrist)
While I understand the Yag laser is the apparent remedy to address the wrinkle, I'm not sure I would do it until my vision acuity which is very good becomes an issue due to posterior capsule opacification which I understand happens eventually to many who have had cataract surgery,
