While cataract surgery is generally safe and highly successful, doctors occasionally overlook detailing certain subtle post-operative realities, such as the potential requirement for secondary laser treatments for capsule clouding, the temporary persistence of dry eye symptoms, or visual disturbances like halos and glare around lights at night. Additionally, patients are not always fully prepared for the strict lifestyle restrictions associated with premium lens upgrades, such as continuous daytime UV-protective eyewear compliance or the added financial costs of specialized post-operative care.
