What are the risks associated with cataract surgery?
After the routine 3 month follow-up period, 98% of our patients are able to see and function better. This leaves approximately a 2% chance that removing the cataract may not improve your vision. Be aware that removing your cataract is a surgical experience and there is risk of infection or complication following any type of surgical procedure. You will be required to use eye drops for several weeks immediately following your surgery to prevent infection and swelling in the eye.
