if you already have had cataract surgery, have intraocular lenses installed, there is a phenomenon where 20% of the patients have debris from inside the eye that sticks onto the lens. It acts like a cataract but is not a regrowth of a cataract. Your surgeon can use a laser to zap it....takes 20 seconds.
