Cataract surgery gone wrong?
It doesn’t matter how skilled a surgeon is, dense brunescent cataracts are high risk procedures, and no one should wait to let their cataracts become like that. Even with high power, they are difficult to remove, the zonules are often weak because of the dense nature of the cataracts. So, the chances of the capsule breaking is greater. Also, just small movements in the eye during surgery can cause issues. I do mostly very complicated cataracts and there are times where things are not in the surgeon's control. I have had cases where the lens was just free floating with no support. People should see their ophthalmologists regularly and make sure the cataracts aren’t so dense. We don’t live in a country where the access to care is limited, so the cataracts should never get this large. READ MORE
