A Cataract is a condition of eye lens clouding that leads to a gradual loss of vision.
This condition may lead to severe eye discomfort and can be treated only through surgical procedures.
However, as the development of Cataracts is a natural aging process, many people wonder- Can Cataracts come back after surgery?
Let us explore the possibility of Cataracts returning after surgery in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n
No, Cataracts <\/a>cannot come back after surgery. Artificial Intraocular lens<\/strong> is a medical device made of biocompatible material used to replace the cloudy natural lens and restore clear vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, people may complain of Cataract-like symptoms a few months after the surgery.
This is because, in Cataract surgery<\/a>, the natural eye lens is replaced with an artificial Intraocular lens that cannot develop Cataracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a common post-surgery complication<\/a> known as Secondary Cataract<\/a> or Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO<\/a>).
During the Cataract surgery, some residual<\/a> cells of the Cataract-affected lens may remain in the eye lens capsule.
These cells then grow and form cloudy patches at the back of the lens capsule, resulting in Posterior Capsular Opacification.
The common symptoms of this condition include blurry vision, glare, and light sensitivity.
Besides PCO, there may be many other side effects of Cataract surgeries. To learn about them in detail, read<\/strong> Safeguarding Sight: Unveiling the Cataract Surgery Side Effects<\/a>.
Fortunately, PCO can be easily treated with the help of a simple laser procedure.
Therefore, it is best to talk to your eye doctor if you experience any visual discomfort post Cataract surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n
