My cousin was born with a cataract in the left eye and it was removed by an immediate surgery. But he couldn’t be able to see properly and still see undefined objects. It was almost 11 years ago, but our family was wondering if there is any new technology the would help him to see clearly? Please help

Well once the defective lens is removed in the surgery. This is so even in the case of children with congenital cataract. In adult though another lens is implanted. But in the case of kids and especially infants the doctors hesitate to implant a permanent lens as they may cause damage to it due to rubbing due to some irritation. They are prescribed glasses or contact lenses. What was prescribed for your cousin? Was it a permanent implantation, glasses or contact lenses?

Hi BOFFO, he has contact lens and it is not a permanent implantation. Is there any possibility to implant a permanent lens in his eyes to improve his vision? If so which hospital is best to do it? Thanks for your help.
