Question:
Would you be more comfortable with a cautious surgeon
or an assuring one?
Answer:
I had cataract surgery a few years ago, and unfortunatley had *many*
complications. The end result is that I have very thick glasses and
still cannot see anywhere near 20/20, even in the one eye that still
works. Unfortunately this means that when it comes time to renew my
license it will be difficult.
Please be sure to get a cautious doc, but one who has done a lot of
these procedures.
If a patient has a hypermature cataract, a cataract so dense that I
cannot adequately visualize the fundus details, then I will suggest
it. But that is like, maybe, <5% of the time.
