Cataract Surgery Complications Market Projected to Grow at 7.5% CAGR

Introduction
Cataract surgery is the most common ophthalmic surgical procedure worldwide, with millions of procedures performed annually. While advances in surgical techniques and intraocular lens (IOL) technologies have improved outcomes, post-operative complications such as posterior capsule opacification (PCO), cystoid macular edema (CME), endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, and corneal edema remain significant clinical and economic concerns.
