Just because it common doesn’t mean complication free! I belong to a cataract Facebook page and the number of imperfect surgeries is astounding. It maybe routine for the doctor but definately not routine for some patients.
I had cataract surgery go bad. Doctor insisted it was “perfect”
But was far from it.

In many cases, those with less than optimal results report this - while those that don't, don't.

Most data indicates about 4,000,000 cataract surgeries per year in the United States - so, given a ten year span of time, perhaps 40,000,000 surgeries.
