A lot of times those 5% people go blind :/

I was trying to track down what the 5% failure looks like. The article source is here[1] for the 95% stat, which then references here[2], but I honestly can't find it, [2] refers to "Recent studies reveal that in most of the cases, the prognosis is excellent after surgery, almost 70 to 80%", which refers to here[3], which seems to refer to patient happiness(?), so I haven't the foggiest where that 5% stat comes from.

Ultimately, I have no idea what the 5% failure means or looks like or if it even is a real statistic. Maybe I'm just thick and there's an obvious link or passage I missed.

I was shocked when I saw a 5% failure rate, I would not take those odds.

Well the alternative is to go blind due to cataracts... So those are pretty good odds.

It's probably per-eye, right?
