A 48 year – old executive underwent cataract surgery (Phacoemulsification with foldable IOL) in the left eye. The surgery and postoperative period was uneventful. Patient regained 6/6 vision and was comfortably carrying on his extensive reading and computer work. About 6 months later he started having problem in reading. His vision became hazy and blurred. On check up his vision had come down to 6/18 and there was an opacification of the posterior capsule of the lens called Aftercataract.

He was explained that this was a normal change expected after cataract surgery and it needed a very small OPD procedure to correct it. A YAG laser Capsulotomy was done to remove the central part of the posterior capsule and patient immediately regained 6/6 vision.
