YAG capsulotomy is done in your eye doctor's office or at an outpatient surgery center. The treatment is usually quick and painless. You can most often return to your normal routine right away. There are no needles, no stitches, and no risk of infection. Your vision will most likely be fully restored soon after treatment. https://www.youreyesllc.com/health-library/cataracts-and-treatments/383467/yag-capsulotomy-your-experience
