Bill D	BS: seeing rainbows, cataracts? (59* d)	RE: BS: seeing rainbows, cataracts?	11 Aug 14
Just a heads up... my first one, the left eye, went perfectly. The right one seemed to, but then I developed something called 'secondary membrane'...some sort of re-growth of cataract material. They deal with that by zapping it with a YAG laser¹, which solved one problem, but left me with 'floaters' the size of Rhode Island. To this day, although my vision is ok, I still have 'stuff' under the implant which makes my right eye tired and fuzzy at times. 1) what is a YAG laser? It is named for the major components ..yttrium aluminium garnet... It seemed like an odd name until I realized that they would likely never call it a GAY laser. (And AYG & AGY are hard to pronounce.) I asked my surgeon about that, and he said: "Oh... I never thought about that before."
