Answer by Patti C
You can develop another cataract at any time. It would all depend on your age too. Older people do develop cataracts, they are slow growing. The odds that an older person would develop another one are high.

If a younger person has a cataract, that is unusual. The chances of a younger person developing another one would depend on why they had the first one. Usually the doctor is able to help with information on cataracts in younger people.

Question by poodiebear: how soon to fly after cataract surgery questions. thank you!?
I asked this questions yesterday and appreciate all the wonderul answers. Here is my delimma. My mother in law is here in Michigan, she is due to fly home to Florida on the 28th of July. Her second cataract surgery for her other eye is on the 24th. I know that you have to have the day after, next week 2nd week and 3rd week follow-up, according to her doc. I spoke with the nurse and told her that this is a money issue, she cannot afford to change her ticket or stay away from home any longer she has been here 2 months. Nurse said the only reason for her not to fly was because she has to see her doc for follow up and no other surgeon is happy about seeing another doc’s patient for a follow up. I understand that as well, but in this situation can it be done? She does have an eye doc in Florida. Or the other way to go would be to just have the doc in florida do the other eye or have her doc here recommend someone in Florida to do the other eye? Any opinions? I’m at a loss here

Well both she and I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL YOU KIND PEOPLE WHO ANSWERED. She has seen the vet and it turns out it may not be a cataract, (fingers crossed) we have been given eye drops and have to re visit next week.
Thanks again
