Cataract surgery is highly successful in restoring your sight from cataracts. The new intraocular lens used in cataract surgery is very durable and essentially lasts forever. But in a small percentage of cases (<5%) a fog can grow over the vision in the first year after successful cataract surgery or even after 10 years. This is caused by small cells multiplying on the bag that the intraocular lens sits in. It can be easily treated with a YAG Laser posterior capsulotomy. This is minor laser eye surgery performed in the clinic with the YAG Laser during a short visit and has a very fast recovery. Your vision would normally improve by the next day.
