New Jersey Medical Malpractice Lawyers: Risks of Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed today. It is also one of the most successful procedures, with 85 to 93 out of 100 adults having a good outcome. But there are people who do suffer complications either during surgery or after due to medical errors or improper care.

Even though fewer than 10 out of 100 patients will have complications that will threaten their vision or require additional surgery, when it happens it can be devastating.

Possible complications include:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding in front of the eye
  • Detachment of the nerve layer at the back of the eye
  • Glare problems
  • Dislocated intraocular lens
  • Retinal detachment
  • Glaucoma
  • Astigmatism or strabismus
  • Sagging of the upper eyelid
  • Others
