Cloudy vision following a Crystals & yag laser

[peeches01]

I didn't want the cheap medicare lenses because I wanted to be able to see near and far with both eyes. I was so specific saying if there was a choice, I want to see clearly close up.  Then he did a Yag Laser.  Now, I can't  see my laptop computer clearly or read a magazine or the paper.  After the Yag my eye is cloudy.

The joke is on me,  I spent Thousands of dollars on the surgeon/lenses and I could have paid nothing and see better.

Any suggestion to clear up the vision in the eye with the Yag and what to do about not seeing well, close and intermediate

Performing a YAG on the crystalens can sometimes cause the refraction of the eye to change. Go to an optometrist and find out what your glasses prescription is. If you can see near and far with SINGLE VISION glasses for distance, you can have lasik done to fix/reverse the shift.

Not sure when you had the YAG done, but you will have hazy vision for a few days. In my case, it was about a week before it cleared completely.

I assume you had a cataract removed before you had the lens implanted. The bag the natural lens was in gets left behind but clouds up. The YAG laser punches holes in the bag to clear the cloudiness. I'm surprised they didn't explain all this to you before gaining consent.

Sometimes it can cause inflammation and the cells get in the vitreous and cloud your vision. Ask your eye surgeon to look int this possibility.

Why did 'he' do a yag laser?  There is always a reason--and it matters.
