Given the potential side effects post surgery, I would not want to have them done at the same time. If all goes well, great, but if there is a problem, such as I had, not so great if done at the same time.

I lost the sight in my left eye after a cataract operation went badly wrong. Get them done on separate occasions.

Supposedly the more advanced the cataract, the harder the surgery. Not sure why that is?

I was told that the cataract gets harder as it progresses. That means more energy is required to break up the old lens for removal. That in turn can be an issue if the structures supporting the lens pouch are damaged.
