Are there further procedures required after cataract surgery?

Doctor's Answer

Yes, that's a good question. Some people get some fibrosis of the capsule, the layer behind the lens, after cataract surgery.

Over time, they get this fibrosis and makes vision less clear, requiring something called YAG laser to just create a hole in that capsule only if patients experience it. It varies, some patients never get it, depending on the patient.
