This is very common and a simple procedure to do.
Dr. O.
I had this done to one eye for clouding after cataract surgery. The procedure took a couple of seconds, was painless, and the brightness of my vision was almost instantly restored.
BTW, the doctor warned me that I might see something like floaters for a few days, as the cloudy bits blasted by the laser disintegrated. This turned out to be true, but it resolved very quickly.
Thank to both of you. Your comments were very helpful.
