Secondary cataracts commonly develop several weeks, to several years after cataract surgery. This is a secondary opacification of the capsular bag in which the intra-ocular lens was originally placed.

If you have had cataract surgery and the once clear vision becomes cloudy, hazy or blurry you may have a secondary cataract. There may be other causes for decreased vision so call the office and the doctor will examine you to determine whether you have a secondary cataract.
