What are possible side effects of cataract surgery?
As with any surgery, pain, infection, swelling, and bleeding are possible, but very few patients experience serious problems or cataract surgery complications. Your surgeon may prescribe medications for these effects. Retinal detachment also occurs in a few people. Be on the lookout for excessive pain, vision loss, or nausea, and report these symptoms to your eye surgeon immediately.
