yag laser

My eye doctor says i need yag laser treatment to correct cloudiness in my right eye.  he said it is an easy procedure.  I guess my question is that I am worried that this cloudiness could come back months or years after treatment.  I was surprised to have this problem after cateract surgery which I had about 3 years ago.

It is indeed easy and needs only to be done one time.
If you want to see how it's done:
