A shame that cataract surgery has become a money making scheme in some countries (Canada), where surgeons often push unnecessary expensive lenses to patients and focus exclusively on simple cataract cases to fuel their high income lifestyles.

I think part of this is the high population from which to draw both doctors and patients coupled with the intensely competitive academics and standardized testing.
