yag indotomy yttrium aluminum garnet

Explanation:
I don't know about the indotomy part of your question. I think the standard spelling may be endotomy.

secondary cataract
Not uncommonly, a few cells of the lens cortex remain adhered to the inner surface of the posterior lens capsule after surgery. After a few weeks or months, these cells can become opaque, resulting in a secondary cataract. Fortunately, the eye does not have to be reopened for this simple cataract to be removed. Rather, a YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) laser is used, in a procedure taking only a few minutes, to fire through the clear cornea and pupil and to obliterate the secondary cataract (and a small portion of the capsule behind it), thus enabling light to pass through again, unobstructed. If this laser procedure is successful, a cataract never again should pose a problem for that eye.

A YAG laser is used to perform surgery.

It has been recently discovered in an animal model of this condition that surgical cutting of the extraocular muscle tendons (endotomy) decreased the nystagmus and improved the visual behavior. This procedure has entered a phase I study in humans that will be continued during the next year with the hope of decreasing their nystagmus and improving the visual function of patients with this condition.
