I had surgery on both eyes with what they called a “YAG” laser. Just as the Dr. said, it was a piece of cake.

I read up on it and before lasers, it was a difficult operation often accompanied by problems.

I'm sure there was a reason they didn't call it the GAY laser....

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

a “YAG” laser is one whose frequency and other characteristics is governed by its use of Yttrium Aluminum Garnet; a synthetic gemstone grown in and crystallized out of high-temp furnaces.

My Dad used to have a synthetic gemstone business and peddled chunks of YAG for home-brew gemstone faceters to cut up.
