This : This is a question you need to pose to your ophthalmologist since he will be doing the surgery. He should discuss your options and answer your questions prior to surgery.

It depends: The yag laser is typically used for removal of a posterior capsular opacification, often seen after cataract surgery. Use of the yag ultimately depends on what type of surgery needs to be performed on your eye.
