IOL lens displacement 2 years post op.

I think my IOL has shifted and I'm 2+ years post op from traumatic cataract surgery.  I clearly see what I think is an edge of the lens.  Am I correct or off base?

No that is not the edge of the IOL its an opacified anterior capsule.  Confirm with your surgeon

I had a YAG done over a year ago I thought that was supposed to address opacification of the capsule?
Now that I think about the YAG addressed posterior opacification rather than anterior.  Hmmm.  Thanks Doc.  I scheduled an appointment.
