Cataract Surgery & Refractive Lens Surgery
A Question and Answer Book with Uday Devgan, MD, FACS

Table of Contents

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.
