Thankfully, the success rate of these types of surgery is very good, and complications only occur in around 1-2% of cases.

This condition can also be called ‘secondary cataract’ and displays the same cloudy appearance as a ‘senile’ cataract’ (can develop as a natural part of ageing) or ‘complex cataract’ (develops from trauma / injury or medical condition).
In the same way as cataracts, PCO can cause difficulty with sight, and the ability to focus clearly on near and far objects. PCO can particularly affect the central visual axis (the eye’s main fixation point), which can lead to difficulties with overall vision.

At Prema, we ensure that all patients are provided with appropriate aftercare advice, which may include eye drops, to ensure the risk of postoperative complications is minimal. Our follow-up appointments are arranged to monitor your healing, and the success of the surgery. If any patient is showing signs of further complications, this will be handled within the clinic by our experienced team.
