Yeah, their claim that it is the most common procedure is incorrect. There are more colonoscopies performed every year, too. I followed the citations and they are citing a 2007 paper that was meta-analysis regarding cost effectiveness of cataract surgery, so the claim gets more dubious the deeper you dig.
The article is still interesting, but they probably should have left that claim out.
