YES. It would require surgery.

An ophthalmologist is a fully licensed physician and surgeon. Instead of submitting a question for information that is easily available online, e.g., Wikipedia, “Ophthalmologists are allowed to use medications to treat eye diseases, implement laser therapy, and perform surgery when needed.” Next time, just try typing it into a search box and get your answer within seconds!

Cataracts do NOT come back. There is a portion of the back wall of the cataract (posterior capsule) that remains in the eye and is usually left clear and intact at the conclusion of surgery. This membrane can get hay weeks to more generally months to years later. If it is impairing vision it is opened in the office/clinic with a laser- YAG laser capsulotomy. IF the haze develops shortly after or weeks after the surgery it should be evaluated by the surgeon.

This question is best answered by the doctor who did his surgery and has examined him. If this doesn’t adequately address the problem he should get another opinion.

There may be an allergy component. Take him to see a Comprehensive or Pediatric Ophthalmologist.

Could be too much caffeine, lack of sleep or a significant neuromuscular disease. See an Ophthalmologist for a diagnosis.

Looking at the screen will not damage the eyes. You can’t use your vision too much. Whatever screen time you allow should lean more towards “educational" and mind stimulating rather than solely entertainment.

There is a chance of infection or inflammatory reaction. See an Ophthalmologist to be sure no further treatment indicated.

Eat a healthy diet and stay hydrated. Have regular eye exams after age 50 or sooner if symptoms develop.

There are a few brands of pre-packages cleansing pads made for this purpose available at most large pharmacies. Check with your local drug store.

This is a good question and cause for concern. If your treating physician and retina consultant are of no help, you should seek another opinion from a glaucoma/cataract specialist and possibly a different retina specialist to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

There are many causes for Ocular Surface Disease (dry eye) that require different treatment regimens. See an Comprehensive Ophthalmologist or better yet, one specializing in Cornea & External Disease for professional diagnosis and management.

Go to an ophthalmologist, preferably a pediatric ophthalmology specialist, for evaluation and treatment.

If you have a problem following surgery you should ask your surgeon to evaluate you instead of posting a question on line for someone who did not do your surgery and hasn’t examined you.

You need to go back to the place that did the prescription/made the glasses to make sure they are the right correction for you.

See an ophthalmologist for a comprehensive examination.

YES

One or more possibilities may be factors.

1. The type of contact lens is not appropriate for your eyes (you did not specify daily wear, extended wear, water content, other lens material) or fit of the lens may not be right. A change n type of lens might help.
2. Ocular surface disease or simple dry eye which might respond well to change in lens or use of wetting solution may be involved.

An ophthalmologist or optometrist would be qualified to evaluate these and recommend a solution.
