Each year, more than three million Americans undergo cataract surgery. It is the most commonly performed surgery in the nation. Authors Robert K. Maloney, MD, and Neda Shamie, MD, are ophthalmologists, who have performed thousands of cataract surgeries. In their book, Cataract Surgery—A Patient’s Guide to Treatment, they answer commonly-asked questions about the procedure and address the concerns many patients have about modern cataract surgery.
