How can people see after a cataract operation?

In: Cataracts [Edit categories]

Answer:

I had a cataract when I was born, and got a donor lens when I was 2 years old. (I'm 24 now).

My original lens and the cataract was removed, HOWEVER the donor lens did not work. This was 22 years ago when this surgery was done, but the way my eye was supposed to "work", was we covered up my good eye, to strengthen the bad one. Being two years old, I didn't understand this and am legally blind in my right eye now.

I have vision out of my bad eye, just not enough to make anything out. I can see blobs of things and colors.
