Does anyone have any experience of this? After one year following bilateral cataract surgery, my right eye vision is quite blurry and today I am going to have the lens cleaned by laser at local hospital eye dept.
I know it happens but don't have anyone to tell me their experiences!
Anyone out there to comment please?

I had my cataract operations 7 years apart, the laser op was onky required after one of those ops and this became evident about six months later. Not everyone needs later laser treatment and the time after the main op is as long as a piece of string, it all depends on whether you need it or not and when the operation becomes necessary.

My lens clouded over a year after having a cataract removed,the laser treatment was very quick and painless,just had to look through a lens at a red light,only took about a minute maybe less and my sight was instantly back to normal.
