scarring after cataract surgery

What is YAG, cataract sx, & PCO sx? Could you please list at least once in the articles you write, the meaning of these acronyms? Otherwise many have no clue as to what you are talking about!

@abelew I can only explain the first and last; PCO stands for Posterior Capsule Opacification, during the removal of the lens for cataract surgery, the sack which holds the lens gets dark, like frosted glass (opacification), the best way to make it clear again is doing a YAG (I don't know what stands for), which is a procedure using laser to clear the sack allowing the light to come through again. Maybe other can explain what is 'cataract sx'. Kind regards, Isabel

Yes, excellent suggestion. I thought I did however I too have succumb to abbreviations only at times. I believe when I write in the Epilepsy threads I explain abbreviations. They occasionally confuse me also.
Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
