Peter, glad to hear the procedure went well.  Its quite common to need a YAG 
laser capsulotomy within a year after cataract surgery.  Fortunately, its a 
quick procedure done in the office.  I used to have patients tell me their 
ophthalmologist removed their cataract with a laser.  They forgot all about 
the original surgical procedure to remove the cataract and insert an 
intra-ocular lens implant. This is a once and done procedure.  You should 
have clear vision from here on.  

Stay healthy & Be well,
Richard
