  • Πολύ υψηλό ποσοστό επιτυχίας. Εδώ και δεκαετίες έχουμε σταματήσει να λέμε για ώριμους καταρράκτες, τους κάνουμε αρκετά πιο νωρίς γιατί είναι πολύ πιο ασφαλές.

  • Ο καταρράκτης όσο ωριμάζει τόσο πιο δύσκολο γίνεται το χειρουργείο. Είναι μύθος και μεγάλο λάθος να αφήνουμε το καταρράκτη να ωριμάσει για να χειρουργηθεί γιατί αυξάνονται κατά μεγάλο ποσοστό οι επιπλοκές.
