Postcataract

Postcataract refers to the condition that occurs after cataract surgery, where the natural lens of the eye is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure aims to correct vision issues caused by cataracts, which are cloudy areas in the lens that can impair vision. Postcataract symptoms can vary widely among individuals and may include:

- Blurred vision

- Halos around lights

- Double vision

- Difficulty seeing at night

- Sensitivity to glare

These symptoms can be temporary or persistent, depending on the individual's healing process and the type of IOL implanted. Postcataract symptoms typically resolve within a few months to a year after surgery, but in some cases, they may persist or worsen. If postcataract symptoms are severe or do not improve, patients should consult their eye care provider for further evaluation and potential treatment options.
