What are the side effects with YAG treatment?
The most common side effect is the presentation of “floaters” but these typically dissipate within a few weeks. Complications are rare, but may include increased pressure within the eye, a dislocation of the artificial lens implant through the opening that is created in the back portion of the lens capsule, or, rarely, a detached retina. If you are in a high risk group, your follow-up will be more extensive.
