Good morning

I see there are a few posts on YAG or posterior capsulotomy that are over a year old and I wasn’t sure where to post this. . I just wanted to say that I had a YAG procedure done on my right eye just yesterday (June 10). It was successful and actually not a big deal. I have dry macular degeneration in that eye and am also being treated for macular edema in that eye (almost healed). So I was concerned about having anything else done.

I had cataract sx 12 years ago in both eyes and have had a haze on the right eye for about a year. One of the
possibilities is having increased pressure after the procedure but I decided to go ahead. They did measure my pressure after the procedure. I have a follow up in a week but am happy to say that, so far, the haze is gone…I had a mild headache for a few hours. They tell you to look out for increased floaters, a veil or shade over the eye, flashing lights or pain that can’t be relieved by advil or Tylenol. So far so good and I am glad I did it and will ask during the follow up how often eye pressure has to be measured.
