Cataract Surgery and Its Impacts on Vision

Cataract surgery, the most frequently performed surgical procedure in the world, boasts a high success rate with minimal complications. In cases where complications do arise, they are usually minor. Remarkably, 98% of patients undergoing cataract surgery experience significant vision improvement, provided there are no other underlying eye conditions.

Understanding the Causes of Blurred Vision Post-Surgery

Post-surgery, patients may face challenges adjusting to their new clarity of vision. One common complication leading to blurred vision after cataract surgery is posterior capsule opacity (PCO), also known as secondary cataract. PCO occurs when the capsule holding the lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or hazy vision. This common condition is treated well with YAG Laser.

Another factor contributing to difficulty in vision post-surgery is a reduction in contrast sensitivity, which relates to the ability to differentiate objects from similar backgrounds. This issue is particularly prevalent among patients with multifocal Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) implants. Multifocal IOLs, designed with multiple focal points for different distances, can challenge the visual cortex’s neurons responsible for processing vision from various areas, resulting in lower contrast sensitivity.

Common Symptoms After Cataract Surgery

In the weeks or months following the surgery, patients may experience a
range of symptoms including:

• Blurred vision and haziness
• Trouble recognizing facial gestures
• Eye fatigue while watching television
• Need for additional light while reading
• Glare and difficulty driving at night due to headlight glare
• Reduced contrast sensitivity, causing poor night vision and affecting the ability to see spots on clothes, counters etc.
