Cataracts surgery led to partial blindness as infant - is there a specific name for this condition?

I had cataracts as an infant, it wasn't discovered until I was 2 years old. From my understanding: The cataract lens was removed. The cushion that the lens sits on in my eye didn't heal and a second surgery was needed. Because the cushion was removed it prevented me from getting a lens replacement. The result is that I'm partially blind in that eye (I can see vague shapes and colors, but nothing in detail).

Is there a specific condition this is called? Thank you!
