Post Cataract : posterior capsular opacification - speed

Hi Elliott,
I developed PCO within weeks of cataract surgery (more quickly than 16 weeks). From my reading, I have come across others who developed PCO quickly. By the way, I too have the maddox rod effect.

Nice to know I'm not alone. I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow and, assuming my issue isn't anything else, I guess I will be getting that Yag laser - something that I was hoping to avoid for at least awhile longer as I understand the risk of complications from the laser decrease the more time that has elapsed from the initial cataract surgery but it has been 4 months so hopefully I am more in the 'safe' zone
