Hi,
She has most probably developed after cataract (posterior capsular opacity) which has to be removed by yag laser procedure. It's a very safe procedure. Nothing to worry.
Yag laser is generally done just once. There is no need to repeat it. (If you are referring to the first surgery as laser, then i would like to clear it that surgery is not done via laser, is done using ultrasound energy.)
