A member asked:
Following cataract surgery, will the eye go back to normal perfect vision?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly: If the eye is normal except for the cataract and had excellent vision before the cataract formed, then normal vision is the usual result. Cataract surgery corrects cloudy optics but will not undo any retinal or corneal damage that predates the cataract removal.

Vision & Cataract: Vision usually decreases with cataract formation; Depending on pre-operative risk factors (ie, hypertension, diabetes, pseudoexfoliation, trauma, etc) the vast majority of patients achieve 20/20 vision after cataract surgery (low risk factor patients). Most patients say colors are brighter after surgery & VA much better. More info at: eyedoc2020 blogspot com
