Brief Answer:
Details on the status after surgery is needed.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

The lens of the eyes have an outer capsule and an inner pulp. During cataract the inner pulp is usually affected and during cataract this hazy pulp is removed, leaving behind the capsule. But sometimes the capsule also develops some haziness. If that is the case, even a cataract surgery will not clear the blurriness.

A proper clinical examination is required but your doctor would be better able to comment on the current situation and about what is to be done next.
