Question
There have been such cases and the most serious complication is an infection for any surgery in the eye. Once there is an infection, there is a risk for blindness.
Frankly, it is very rare and I think if you see your eye doctor, he should be talking to you about the risk of that as well. The doctors should take all these procedures to reduce the risk, such as cleaning and making sure the wound is watertight after the surgery.

You are right to say that. Most cataracts actually are not usually threatening. The only time you want to do surgery is if it affects your vision, making it blurry vision, making your life miserable, or it causes other complications like glaucoma, causing something called angle-closure glaucoma and flukes in vision. Maybe there is something wrong with the retina at the back of your eye and cataracts get in the way which makes investigation or diagnosis of retina conditions a problem. That is more reason to undergo surgery.
