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.

Good morning FL Mary, Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm happy to hear that it has helped you. I'm happy I had cataract surgery done for both eyes. The only problem I've had since the surgery is my eyes seem to be a little more sensitive to light and seem to be watery a lot more than before. Some of this I'm sure is related to my CPAP mask leaking air around the eyes. I also notice a few floaters once in awhile. I have to wear reading glasses for the computer and reading. Funny thing happened a few days ago. I saw what I thought was a floater moving around on my left eye and blinking couldn't make it go away. I pulled my glasses off and rubbed my eye a little and was going to put some eye drops in then I looked closely at my glasses and saw the tiniest ant moving around on the frame and lense. Gave me a good laugh to start my day.
