Okay, I have congenital cataracts, but the opthalmologist I see said something about it being a posterior polar cataract. I didn't ask him to explain what exactly it is but he did say when I do have surgery it will be a bit more risky than routine cataract surgery. Can someone explain why it is more risky and what exactly posterior polar means? Also add to this that I had Lasik surgery to correct my distance vision back when I was in my early 30's.
