A recent study namely ‘Efficacy of vision therapy in children with learning disability and associated binocular vision anomalies’ was aimed t o report the frequency of  binocular vision (BV) anomalies in children with specific learning disorders (SLD) and to assess the efficacy of vision therapy (VT) in 94 children with a non-strabismic binocular vi...

View More The lens of our eye refracts light rays that come into the eye by which we can see. If you there is cataract , then the lens become cloudy and the vision will be blurry, hazy or less colorful. To remove and replace the lens with an artificial one i.e. intraocular lens (IOL) , the cataract surgery is performed. But the lens may be become cloudy again after the surgery. This is known as posterior capsular opacification (PCO) . It's also called scar tissue or secondary cataract. According to JOEL HUNTER, MD in his article ‘On Wisdom and Cataracts’ – “The way the lens inside the eye is designed, continues to grow with age, and since it’s in a closed capsule the new layers that are forming in the lens each year compress the older ones deeper down.
