When people have cataracts, the lens of their eye becomes cloudy and obstructs the passage of light to the retina, causing blurry vision. During cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens.
In some cases, the artificial lens used in cataract surgery allows for the passage of low-frequency ultraviolet light. This can result in some individuals being able to see low-frequency ultraviolet light, which is not normally visible to the human eye. This phenomenon is known as aphakia, and it occurs when the natural lens of the eye is removed, allowing for the perception of ultraviolet light.
It is important to note that not all individuals who undergo cataract surgery will experience this ability to see low-frequency ultraviolet light, as it depends on the specific type of artificial lens used during the procedure.

The lens of the eye is a transparent structure that sits in front of the pupil and regulates the amount of light entering the eye and focuses light on the retina to provide clear vision. It also blocks most ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the retina, which can damage the retina and cause vision problems.
When the lens becomes clouded or opaque due to a cataract, it can block light from reaching the retina and cause blurry vision. Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. The artificial lens is designed to focus light on the retina and provide clear vision, but it does not block UV radiation.
As a result, people who have had cataract surgery may be more sensitive to UV radiation and may need to wear sunglasses or other forms of eye protection to protect their eyes from damage.
