The odds of an infection is .1%, and its generally bacterial, and treatable.
If you follow the directions and have the follow up checks that risk drops again.
The reality is everyone sooner or later gets Cataracts.
I had was subject to a lot of sunlight for a long time, and the eye it started in
is the side that was subject to that sunlight.

It's also a matter of pain. It hurts to have oncoming lights, especially the high beamers.
