Cataract surgery----conventional or laser?

By “laser” I mean that the incisions will be made by a laser, not by a scalpel.

Is the crinkling related to the capsule containing the lens becoming cloudy? I read somewhere that in 20% of catararct surgeries, the capsule becomes cloudy, restricting light entering the brand-new lens. This is treated with some kind of laser as well, “cleaning up” the surface of the capsule so that light may pass through it. OR, this could be a totally different condition.
