Jim, this is a common laser procedure that creates a clear opening in the 
capsule that holds the intra-ocular lens in place.  The capsule is a remnant 
of your original lens.  The procedure is called a YAG capsulotomy and is 
usually very successful in restoring vision.  Hopefully, your vision will be 
clearer and remain that way for decades to come.  Happy shooting!!

Be well,
Richard
