Question:
How often does incomplete removal of a cataract occur?
Answer:
Thankfully it is rare not to be able to remove the entire cataract. However, in cases of traumatic (caused by injury) or dense (mature) cataracts, it is more common for the back capsule of the cataract to be damaged, which can allow pieces of the cataract to float to the back of the eye. Thankfully these pieces can be removed by a retina specialist with a low complication rate.
