While cataract surgery is one of the safest procedures available, there are rare potential complications. Possible complications include bleeding, infection, blindness, vitreous loss or the need for a second surgery. Vision loss occurs in about one in 200,000 cases. Remember that over 95% of patients are very pleased after cataract surgery.
