The main risk is infection. Yep, its local anthestic a day hospital job in many parts of the less developed world. Do one eye, come back next week/month get the other eye done... I suspect this is a very basic "cure" popping out the old cloudy lens and popping in a rigid standard replacement. You then get glasses to "match" the new lenses to your eyes. I wouldn't be surprised if more advanced treatment allow for the replacement lens to be matched to the eye and be flexable so you still have variable focus. I think you want to update your facts. In many the ophthalmic departments of many UK hospitals they are doing Cataract operations as a day surgery procedure/ You say about about the replacement lens being matched to the eye, I'm not sure what you mean by this, if you are referring to eye colour then there is no matching to do as the lens is clear, all the colour of the eye is in the Iris.
