WHAT TO EXPECT

Cataracts will not grow back after they have been removed, but some patients do experience a clouding of vision months after surgery that feels very similar to cataracts. This is usually a sign of Posterior Capsular Opacification, which is the clouding of the capsular bag (thin tissue that holds the intra-ocular lens). In these cases, a Posterior Capsulotomy is normally done to painlessly open the clouded capsule to restore clear vision.

As for results, individual vision outcomes are largely dependent on the particular lens implants chosen at the time of surgery. Please visit our Intraocular Lens Implants (IOLs) page to learn more.
