Abstract
- Cataract surgery has evolved dramatically over the last two decades, largely as a result of technological advances. As a result, visual outcomes and patient convalescence have improved significantly. A second consequence of increased instrumentation and technology, however, is increased complexity of cataract surgery and the advent of complications unique to these advances. Cataract surgeons must be aware and capable of managing the many possible adverse events that can occur during cataract surgery. This review identifies many of the common complications of cataract surgery, describes methods to avoid these complications and discusses techniques to address complications that do occur. It is the ability to avoid, quickly identify, and properly manage complications that defines the accomplished cataract surgeon.
