"MY CATARACT'S COMING BACK!"

About 35% of patients that have cataract surgery can develop a film on the implant during the first year after surgery.  Sometimes this film can be so bad that it decreases the vision and the patient feels like the cataract is back.  Patients feel like they're looking through a film. 

These cloudy capsules can be easily cleared with a painless laser procedure called a YAG Capsulotomy.  Usually the film never grows back again.
