Is cataract surgery risky or dangerous?
Modern cataract and implant surgery is one of the miracles of modern medicine. Since its widespread adoption in the mid-1970s, hundreds of millions of operations have been performed worldwide. The great majority are successful and patients are pleased with their improved vision. We take all precautions to prevent post-operative complications such as infection, inflammation, swelling of the front or back of the eye, and increased pressure in the eye. Even if a complication occurs, most can be managed with little effect on the ultimate post-operative vision.
