How long after YAG for refraction?

How long after YAG for refraction?

I had cataract surgery a few months ago and Restor lens implants. Last week (6 days ago) my doctor performed YAG laser on both eyes as they had clouded some. It has helped some, but I still have fuzzy vision at all distances and the computer is the most challenging on my eyes. My next appointment is in 6 weeks, but the doctor said to come in sooner if I needed to.

How long after having the YAG laser done do I need to wait before I can have refraction test for glasses? I don't mind wearing glasses, even all the time. I really just want to see well. Readers help one eye, but make the other eye worse.

Thank you so much.

I think you can get glasses now.  Most places will remake them at no charge within 30 days, although that shouldn't be necessary.

We generally do refractions on yag capsulotomes in 24 hours after the procedure with good results. So I think you could go in any time.
