Hi, @ladybugmg - wanted to let you know that I've moved your recent post on scarring after cataract surgery here where you'd previously started a conversation on this topic, just so those who've interacted with you before could talk with you more about it as you peruse your options. Glad that @jakedduck1 and @rwinney had some perspective for you as you think it through.

This Mayo Clinic page on cataracts https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cataract-surgery/about/pac-20384765 describes the yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser like this:

"PCO is treated with a painless, five-minute outpatient procedure called YAG laser capsulotomy. In YAG laser capsulotomy, a laser beam is used to make a small opening in the clouded capsule to provide a clear path through which the light can pass.

After the procedure, you usually stay in the doctor's office for about an hour to make sure your eye pressure doesn't rise. Other complications are rare but can include increased eye pressure and retinal detachment."

Hoping that @rosemarya @jaguar737 @isaosunagatty @dsh33782 @lioness will have some additional thoughts for you on the option of the YAG laser and any potential risks, and also provide some support for you at this time.

Which risks have you the most concerned at this point, ladybugmg? Are you currently leaning toward or against having the laser treatment?
