Thank you for your reply and comments.
I am a little confused about the secondary cataract as I was told I could not get a cataract again, because the natural lens is gone. Will you please clarify?
Dear qwertyz,
I would find out more about your condition. It sounds as if you have a secondary cataract, which is an opacification of the membrane behind the implant. This can be opened successfully with laser treatment. I would ask the eyeMD more about the diagnosis as well as benefits and risks of treatment. The laser would be recommended if the reduction in vision is affecting your activities.

That is called aftercataract or posterior capsule opacification/PCO. It used to be very common after cataract surgery, now it is still common.
There is a treatment for it: yag laser capsulotomy:
