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,
