Will the cataract ever come back?
No. The cataract is completely removed except for the fine capsule that supports the man-made lens implant. The cataract therefore, can never come back. In a small percentage of people, the microscopic capsule can become slightly hazy while the man-made lens implant stays perfectly clear. In this case, the patient sits in the chair and the vision is then quickly cleared by a laser in a few minutes without ever touching the eye. People that have refractive lens surgery will never develop cataracts and will never require future cataract surgery.
