laser treatment
I had cateract surgery about two years ago. My left eye is ok but my right eye has lost some vision. My eye doctor told me today that I could have my right eye lasered. Do you know what this procedure involves? Thank you.
Thank you for answring my question. I have one more. Is it the same procedure as my cateract surgery or is it less involved. Do I have to prepare for this treatment? I have an appointment to see the MD eye surgeon in December. I saw the OD who is also in the MD's office yesterday. Thank you.

I believe your doctor is referring to a posterior capsular haze. A YAG laser is used to make an opening in the capsule which has become hazy. This is very common and easy to treat.
