Question

Is cataract surgery safe during the rainy season or is it better to wait for winter? I've heard humidity and infections might be higher in monsoon and worried about recovery. Does the weather really affect the surgery outcome or healing process?

Cataract surgery is generally safe year-round; infection control practices matter more than weather.
