Is yag eye surgery safe. when should i consider?

Yes: The yag laser is used most frequently to remove cloudy tissue that develops after cataract surgery. It is a safe, fast and effective procedure. You should have it if you are having trouble with your vision and new glasses do not help.

PCO: Yag laser surgery is considered when a secondary cataract or posterior capsular opacification is blocking vision.
