What to expect after cataract surgery “Many patients notice significantly clearer vision within 24–48 hours, although full recovery can take a few weeks,” says Dello Russo. Some may have ...
This made visual rehabilitation after cataract surgery a more efficient, effective, and comfortable process. [107] Intracapsular cryoextraction was the favoured form of cataract extraction from the late 1960s to the early 1980s using a liquid-nitrogen-cooled probe tip to freeze the encapsulated lens to the probe.
Posterior capsular opacification, also known as after-cataract, is a condition in which months or years after successful cataract surgery, vision deteriorates or problems with glare and light scattering recur, usually due to thickening of the back or posterior capsule surrounding the implanted lens, so-called 'posterior lens capsule opacification'.
After being used regularly for centuries, couching has been mostly abandoned in favour of more effective techniques, due to its generally poor outcomes, and is currently only routinely practised in remote areas of developing countries. [11] [12] Cataract surgery was first mentioned in the Babylonian code of Hammurabi 1750 BCE. [13]

Sheep eye lens capsule with ligaments attached. The capsule is lifting off the lens showing cell fiber ends beneath. Microscope image of lens capsule in relation to lens cell types. The lens capsule is a component of the globe of the eye. [1] It is a clear elastic basement membrane similar in composition to other basement membranes in the body.
Many patients will develop a cataract within the first few years after surgery. [10] Because there have been no published controlled trials evaluating the benefits and risks stemming from post vitrectomy cataract surgery, ophthalmologists have no clear evidence to rely upon when counseling patients about cataract surgery. [11]
Toxic anterior segment syndrome is an acute, sterile anterior segment inflammation following generally uneventful cataract and anterior segment surgery. [1] One of the main factors in differentiating toxic anterior segment syndrome from an infectious endophthalmitis is the rapid onset. Most patients with toxic anterior segment syndrome will ...
