YAG Surgery
After my cataract surgery in both eyes in Feb. it was decided by my dr. that because of my somewhat blurry vision and after some more testing that I need the YAG surgery. My question is that many years ago I had a torn retina in the right eye which was repaired by laser by a retina specialist. Should I visit him again before having the YAG surgery?
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
A Yag rarely causes a retinal tear. It would be better to see the retinal surgeon after the yag if you are concerned. There is a higher chance of retinal detachments with cataract surgery. We do about 3 million cataract surgeries in the US per year. DO YOU THINK they should all get a retinal exam before a cataract surgery?
