Cataract surgery is generally safe, but like any surgical procedure, it carries some risks and potential side effects. Common side effects include mild discomfort, redness, or a gritty feeling in the eye, which usually resolve within a few days. Temporary blurred vision or light sensitivity may also occur during recovery.
Rare but serious risks include infection, bleeding, retinal detachment, or swelling of the cornea or retina. Some patients may experience posterior capsule opacification (PCO), a condition where the membrane behind the lens becomes cloudy, but this can be easily treated with a painless laser procedure.
To minimize risks, follow your surgeon’s instructions and attend follow-up appointments. Cataract surgery is highly effective, with most patients experiencing improved vision and minimal complications.
