Complications

While the possibility of complications always exists in any operation, serious complications are relatively rare. If you proceed with cataract surgery, you will be given a written consent form giving permission to operate on your eyes. This form is a legal document which attempts to explain the potential risks and benefits involved.

Modern cataract operations are 98% successful in improving vision. Thanks to modern advancements like phacoemulsification, microsurgery, lens implants and one-stitch, this percentage may continue to improve.
