Thank you Tillymack for the information. I read through many of the postings on yag on the patient.info site. I am depressed and upset about it but I realize there's nothing I can really do about it. I can still drive safely at night and will just have to adjust to it. I just hope my anger and continual compulsion over this subsides with time. Post cataract, post yag, things can get far worse than the glare and light-streaming issue even many months after the procedures. That's what scares me With my retinal issues in the past and now this macular pucker, I am just hoping my vision remains good and stable.

I will probably send an email to my surgeon's clinic to document the issue and, unless other issues surface in the interim, request an appointment and a referral to a retinal specialist later this year. I may wait a few weeks before doing so and will be careful in the tone of my note. I will need their help going forward, and it is a highly regarded practice. I can always ask my optometrist for a referral to another cataract surgical facility if I am not satisfied with the response I get.
