In some patients, after cataract surgery, the membrane or "envelope" into which the intraocular lens is placed will become cloudy over time. This cloudy membrane is called an "after cataract" or posterior capsular opacification. When this happens, the symptoms are identical to a developing cataract and the vision gradually fades. Other symptoms such as glare, halos, or streaks of light may occur.
YAG Laser Surgery for After Cataracts The YAG laser has an extraordinarily powerful microscopic beam that opens a window in the cloudy membrane without pain. The procedure takes only a few minutes and is performed in Dr. Bishop's office with only eye drop anesthesia.
