Hi,
     Hmmm ..How safe??...all surgery has its risks...However cataract surgery is one of the safest operations of any kind.
The risks increse when you have some of the following additional problems:

1.High Myopia ..as i was -20 both eyes ...now +0.75 and -1..

2.if high myopic ...more prone to retinal detachment probs.

3.If diabetic...this can cause complications

4.Blood pressure..however this is quite well taken care of.

How many years...?
As far as i am aware ...till the day you die...unless you are unfortunate and develop some complication later.....but this is a very very unlikely...if your sugery has been successful.

If the above dont apply to you ...I would gladly accept procedure....One eye at time ..decreases risk even further...

Not being an Eye specialist...there maybe other possible complications depending on your eye condition...and overall health....these I am sure should be made clear by surgeon..Good Luck

Your questions makes no sense. "How many years can be bought for the patient", what does that mean?
