No, once the cataract is removed, itβs gone. But sometimes something called an after-cataract forms. When the surgeon does cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is sitting inside a bag in your eye. The surgeon cuts open the bag, removes the cloudy lens, and inserts the plastic lens into the bag. Sometimes
the bag itself can cloud over. This can be fixed with a painless laser procedure that punches holes in the bag and immediately clears up the vision.
