capsular wrinkling or CME?

i had catract surgery  2 months ago, Acrysof IQ iol,(ALCON). Initlly,terrfic results evey thing crisp& clear. After a week of surgery, temporary glasses were given ( +o.75/0.50 *170=6/6. However , vision started blurring and getting worse gradually and last week number was changed for the third time to +1.5/+0.5. My surgeon says that it is due to capsular mild wrinkling and late YAG may be cosidered.Meanwhile he has prescribed NEVANAC eye drops for 6 weeks. However, another surgeon diagonise it as early stage of CME. I am worried that my ision may become moreblurred and worse than what it was before surgery. Can someone advise me in this regard. Sinnce my childhood I use my righteye only, which is now operateed upon. The left one is lazy. My surgeon isquite experienced and competent. What next is adviable?

CME can be diagnosed easily with a macular OCT. Have one done.
