Do cataracts grow back?

Once removed, cataracts never grow back. The posterior capsule, which is the support for the implanted intraocular lens (artificial lens) might opacify in some individuals after months to years after cataract surgery. This opacification of the capsule can be treated with a LASER procedure (Nd: YAG capsulotomy) in the outpatient department. Once done, the capsule never opacifies again.
