Don't accept the irresponsible "rare" declaration, either. "Seldom-reported" is far more accurate and likely, given that CSR can be subtle. It takes a particularly knowledgable doctor to diagnose it, or a very persistent patient. When you combine those factors with the fraction of users who even have the wherewithal to go to an eye specialist in the first place, and the likelihood of the incident making it into a tracking database, you have the formula for a hugely under-reported malady that can ruin the quality of people's lives.
Patients should be apprised of all risks so they can weigh the benefits of the treatment, which may of course be deemed superior. The important part is that patients should always have the facts so they can make the choice.
