Is the risk of having cataract surgery higher than sticking with glasses or contact lenses?
There is risk in anything we do in life. When we step out that door, get into the car, or meet up with friends, we face risks. It’s about judging that risk and the potential benefit. So, is the cataract surgery risk higher than sticking with glasses?
Wearing spectacles or contact lenses are not without their potential risks.
Cataract surgery or lens replacement surgery is an operation that carries an element of risk. However, it is one of the safest surgeries that I’ve seen in all my years as a surgeon.
At your appointment, we can discuss the potential risks to ensure you feel comfortable and confident about taking your next steps.
A lot of people don’t know about all of the options that are available to them. The cataract surgery quiz only takes a few minutes. It provides you and me with a really good indication of what might be the best option for you.
Stop waiting and start living with better vision.
