A shame that cataract surgery has become a money making scheme in some countries (Canada), where surgeons often push unnecessary expensive lenses to patients and focus exclusively on simple cataract cases to fuel their high income lifestyles.
They tried to up-sell me when I was in the chair during surgery. (sweden)
Countries like India where cataract surgery is for-profit tend to have higher success rates and broader accessibility than countries where it's not.
I’m not surprised. India produces very experienced surgeons due to the very high volumes of surgeries they’re able to perform. I think part of this is the high population from which to draw both doctors and patients coupled with the intensely competitive academics and standardized testing.
