When a cataract is removed, the anterior [front] lens capsule is removed and the lens material sucked out but the posterior [back] part of the lens capsule is retained. A plastic lens is implanted into the "bag" formed by the posterior lens capsule. Often, debris settles on the posterior lens capsule behind the plastic intraocular lens and clouds the vision again. It seems like a "second cataract." This is usually managed easily by a "YAG laser" procedure, which takes about 2 minutes in the ophthalmologist's office, with instantaneous improvement.
