second YAG procedure

Is it possible to need a second YAG procedure for PCO after cataract surgery?  Does the membrane 'grow back' and cause add'l visual problems?  I had a successful YAG procedure in December, but now for the last month or so I've been seeing short rays of light from headlights and streetlights - which I didn't have before.

Hopefully it goes without saying, but you should discuss the problems with the doctor that did your first yag (ideally in person). And if you're not comfortable with the answers, get a second opinion.

Other forum users have reported needing a second yag for symptoms similar to yours.
