Even in experienced hands, cataract surgery can sometimes take an unexpected turn. In this episode of Eye Surgery Today, Dr. Gary Wörtz and Dr. Neda Shamie explain what patients should know about cataract surgery complications, why having a backup plan matters, and how skilled surgeons manage surprises in the operating room.
They discuss why complications are not always caused by surgeon error, how pre-surgery evaluations help identify risk factors, and why trust in your surgeon and the process is so important.
The key takeaway: great outcomes are still possible, even when surgery requires a Plan B.
