Secondary Cataract: It's Not What You Think! What Is Posterior Capsular Opacification?

The last thing you expect after having cataract surgery is for your cataract symptoms to return! Blurry vision. Glare. Halos. Trouble reading. What could be causing this to happen again??? It turns out that secondary cataracts are fairly common, but they are not what you think!

Luckily, there is a quick and simple treatment with rare complications that can clear up cloudy vision instantly. I'll talk about all of this and more!
