What is after Cataract?
In about 25% of the patient who undergo cataract surgery, thickening of the posterior capsule of the original lens occurs causing mild blurring of vision. This can occur anytime between 3 months to 5 years after surgery. The treatment for this is very simple. We do what is called Laser Treatment for these patients. The ‘Yag Laser’ is used to make a small opening in the thickened capsule behind the IOL. It is a painless, outpatient procedure.
