Had my second YAG laser capsulotomy yesterday. This was a scheduled follow-up after age-related cataract surgery three months ago, because I developed haze after the initial procedures. Interestingly, during the first one on the right eye, I felt the “snapping rubber band” feeling (referenced in a previous post) on either side of the back inside of my skull, depending upon the position of the laser. With the left eye yesterday, the snapping sensation was only inside the left side of my forehead skull, and was stronger- on the edge of uncomfortable, but still not bad.

I had mine done yesterday YAG laser capsulectomy for secondary cataract... well they tried doing it. Problem was the wait time due COVID was too long and lens was to hard, laser didn't worked :( i was so hopeful it could be done.

Surgeon tried many times, many shots, i didn't saw the laser light (i see only hand movement from 10 cm and some colirs now) only heard like mouse clicks, just be relaxed as possible and follow what surgeon says don't squeeze out the lens they put on the eye they will give you some painkiller numbing eye drops they will work for few hours (they will put in LOT of gel to put in easily gel nice hydrates eye to it's very thick your leashes will be bit sticked together, wash them with wet clean towel later at home)
Procedure itself is really fast and easy lens is bit unpleasant almost like eye exam i was really surprised. Absolutely painfree compared to many others i had already. You will be fully awake, you can drink and eat without restrictions no sedation involved unless you speaker with anesthesiologist?
I recommend taking darkest sunglasses you have and sports cap or something to protect eyes from light: your pupils have to be dilated for eye exam and easier procedure that will make you very sensitive to sunlight and all light sources.

In my case sadly i have to come back next month, eh laser is so much better than cutting: no infection, others are going home right away and seeing better instantly almost pain free I'm so envy of other easier cases.

Mine was super easy and made a humongous and immediate difference. The worst part was waiting for the dilating drops to wear off. The next day my vision was freakishly clear (by my standards) and that was that. I had no more halos and greatly reduced issues with glare. If I remember correctly, the lasered-off section of tissue appeared as a floater for a few weeks, but that eventually dissolved and went away.

Best of luck with the procedure. Once it's finished, you'll probably see (no pun intended - It was that or "it'll probably be clear") why I'm happy for you.
