Who is a good candidate for cataract surgery?

I think for me a good candidate would be someone who is motivated to do cataract surgery. I see a lot of patients in the course of my career who are very motivated to do cataract surgery because the cataract is affecting them, making life difficult for them. That makes my job pleasurable in a way as I'm granting them good vision and something that they want, so that is one good aspect. Other good candidates would consider the stabilisation of other ocular diseases.

Why do Intraocular lenses fail a few years after cataract surgery and implants?

Intraocular lenses (IOL) rarely fails a few years after cataract surgery and implants. However, a significant proportion of post-cataract surgery patients may encounter a condition called "posterior capsular opacification (PCO)" which causes cloudiness of vision. How does Posterior Capsular Opacification occur? During cataract extraction surgeries, the "nucleus and cortex" i. e. the core content of the cataract are removed through the front leaflet of the transparent capsule, on which a circular opening of about 5mm had been made (either with forceps or with e. g. a laser).
