Hi tillymack,

As I had said, Dr. Safran in NJ was helpful to me (via emails). Check out pertinent youtube surgeries on his website. I don’t know about the other doctors that sbvrd mentioned, but I’d say to search them and their practices online. And, of course, read all you can on Maddox rod effect and other prospective causes of long term dysphotopsias.

Since, as I understand it, you have a significant PCO that worsens your vision, you may not have any other choice than yag capsulotomy. I’m thinking that millions of people have had these with success. But, of course, not all surgeries are successful!

Ask your surgeon about the risks of the yag surgery causing additional dysphotopsias AND look for a second (or third) doctor’s opinion. Good luck!

My second opinion surgeon says that it's not possible to know in advance if a patient will be made worse following the yag procedure. My original surgeon says it will not as long as the opening is made large enough.
