Introduction Cloudy vision after cataract surgery does not usually mean the cataract has returned. It is most often caused by posterior capsule opacification (PCO), a common condition where cells gradually cloud the capsule supporting the artificial lens implant.

Understanding Clear Lens Exchange and RLE: An Introduction to Lens Replacement Surgery Many patients researching vision correction options ask the same question: is RLE the same as Clear Lens Exchange, or are they different treatments? When comparing Clear Lens Exchange vs RLE, the short answer is that both describe closely related forms of lens replacement […]

Introduction A cataract cannot come back after cataract surgery, even in the same eye, because the cloudy natural lens has been permanently removed.

Regular eye examinations help catch this early and […]
