Hello, I am 54 years old and I had cataract surgery several years ago. But since the eyesight has started to reduce again, doctor said that it is time for Yag posterior laser capsulotomy. When can I expect improvement after this procedure? Actually, why is this operation done in the first place? Thanks for the answer in advance.

This kind of procedure is used for dealing with so called post cataract. All those that had a cataract surgery are in a risk of developing minor eye problems again, and that can be dealt with by Yag posterior capsulotomy. I know that patients almost an hour or two after the procedure is done, leave the doctor’s office. So, I guess the improvement is not far.
