Are there any risks involved with cataract surgery?
The risks associated with cataract surgery are many but rarely occur. Infection, inflammation, glaucoma, retinal detachment or swelling are possible and are usually (but not always) treatable. However, the vast majority of cataract patients will experience nothing more than minimal awareness to mild discomfort during the healing process. Dr. Lewis and his staff will discuss the potential risks of cataract surgery with you during your personalized, pre-operative eye evaluation.
