The lens implant generally lasts for the life of the patient.

It varies by surgeon and technique from 5 to 30 minutes. SO
Cataract surgery results can last a lifetime. Once a cataract is removed it can not come back.Typically 2 to 3 years after cataract is removed a cloudy membrane forms behind the implant that was placed in your eye during surgery. A safe laser procedure will fix this and then your vision will remain good.
Cataract surgery should last a lifetime. An intraocular lens is used to replace your nataural lens which has become an opaque cataract.
It depends on the surgeon. But, normally about 10-15 minutes.
It will last until the shovel is turned. The capsule in which the new lens is placed may need a laser touch up if it opacifies but that is a several minute procedure.
At age 50 you are somewhat young for cataract development.

Cataracts never come back and the lens placed in the eye does not deteriorate, therefore the surgical correction of the cataract lasts forever. However, there are other parts of the eye that play a role in vision and still need to be monitored over time like the cornea, retina and optic nerve
