Complications after cataract surgery are rare, but they are greater in patients with other eye diseases or medical conditions. In some cases, people who have underlying eye conditions like macular degeneration or glaucoma do not see their vision improve until the other condition is treated.
Possible complications of cataract surgery include inflammation, bleeding, infections, swelling, retinal detachment, glaucoma, drooping eyelid, and vision loss.
