Cataract surgery, though highly effective in restoring vision, does come with potential disadvantages that patients should consider. Some individuals may experience side effects such as glare, halos around lights, or sensitivity to bright lights, which can be especially noticeable at night. There is also a risk of infection, inflammation, or swelling post-surgery, which, although uncommon, can impact recovery and require additional treatment. Posterior capsule opacification (PCO), a frequent delayed complication, can cause vision to become cloudy again, often corrected with a quick laser procedure. Pre-existing eye conditions, like macular degeneration or glaucoma, may limit the overall improvement in vision that cataract surgery provides. Additionally, in rare cases, the implanted intraocular lens (IOL) can shift, leading to blurry vision and the need for corrective surgery. Understanding these potential drawbacks helps patients make an informed choice and have a realistic expectation of their surgical outcomes. https://healthywz.com/disadvantages-of-cataract-surgery/
