Cataract surgery is often categorized as routine. My experience and that of other patients reflect cataract surgery as having many potential adverse results. Are patients apprised of these risks prep operation so more informed patient decision can be made?

@gocy that’s what i hear all the time—how routine the surgery is, but… I made a 2nd appointment with my doctor to ask about side effects and problems. He, too, said problems are very rare.. you said you’ve seen an ophthalmologist at U. Of Iowa. Was he able to give you any information or at least, start to set your mind at ease?
