A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye. For people who have cataracts, seeing through cloudy lenses is a bit like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. Clouded vision caused by cataracts can make it more difficult to read, drive a car (especially at night) or see the expression on a friend's face.
Most cataracts develop slowly and don't disturb your eyesight early on. But with time, cataracts will eventually interfere with your vision. At first, stronger lighting and eyeglasses can help you deal with cataracts. But if impaired vision interferes with your usual activities, you might need cataract surgery.

No, cataracts cannot come back because the natural lens has been removed. However, some patients (10-20%) may develop a condition called "posterior capsule opacification" (PCO) months or years after surgery. This is sometimes called a "secondary cataract." It can be easily treated with a quick, painless laser procedure (YAG capsulotomy) in the office, restoring clear vision immediately.
