Risks

Complications may occur during any surgery. Ophthalmologic surgery, however, is usually very safe. Some risks include:

Other serious complications that may occur are blindness, glaucoma, or hemorrhage.

Normal results

Normal results include restored or improved vision, and a much improved quality of life. Specific improvements depend on the type of ophthalmologic surgery performed, and the type of ocular ailment being treated.

Morbidity and mortality rates

Death from ophthalmologic surgery is rare. However, complications can still arise from the use of general anesthesia. With most ophthalmic surgeries requiring only local anesthetic, that risk has been widely eliminated.

Blindness, which was sometimes caused by serious infection, has also been reduced because of more effective antibiotics.
