Posterior Capsular Opacification (Secondary Cataract)

In this plan

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know the cover behind my new lens has turned cloudy. My old cataract has not grown back.
   • I know cells left after cataract surgery can cloud this cover months or years later.
   • I know mild clouding may be watched, but it can blur my sight more over time.
   • I tell my eye team about new blur. Food, glasses, and home care cannot clear this clouding.
