What exactly is the aftercataract?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If vision deteriorates after cataract surgery<\/a>, this is referred to as a aftercataract. In the case of an aftercataract connective tissue and cell growths can form, which cloud the vision and make it appear milky. Most of the time, these formations of the aftercataract are rather rare and harmless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In very rare cases, the renewed clouding of the eye by the secondary cataract can only occur after many years. Patients who have opted for a multifocal lens are more likely to be disturbed by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In such cases, further surgery of the eye is recommended, through which we can fully restore your vision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How does the aftercataract develop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In cataract surgery, the body’s own clouded lens is removed from the eye. The lens capsule directly behind it remains intact. The new artificial lens is inserted over this lens capsule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approximately one third of all patients may experience opacification of the posterior lens capsule. In such cases, one speaks of the aftercataract. The lens epithelial cells multiply, as they no longer have contact with the actual lens. If these cells enter the optical center of the eye, the patient’s visual quality will deteriorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the development of the secondary cararact is also related to the age of the patient. The younger the patient, the greater the likelihood of developing an aftercataract.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What are the symptoms of the secondary cataract?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The symptoms of an aftercataract appear quickly. For the time being, cataract surgery will restore visual acuity. A significant improvement is quite noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With aftercataracts, vision deteriorates quickly and painlessly. The contrast perception suffers and the view is increasingly blurred. In many patients, there is also an increased sensitivity to glare in aftercataracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the symptoms are similar to those of cataracts before its surgery. In contrast, the glaucoma develops symptoms such as visual field loss, which often go unnoticed for a long time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
