Many cataract patients experience cloudy vision months, or even years, after the cataract procedure. This condition, sometimes called an "after-cataract," occurs when the posterior capsule, which holds the lens in place, becomes cloudy.

A reliable laser treatment, called a YAG capsulotomy, is performed to treat the posterior capsule, allowing light to more effectively reach the retina. The procedure is quick and painless, with immediate results.
