I'm not really sure what this article is on about. I have not seen this Mr Beast video but I have heard about it.

I started developing cataracts in my eyes years ago but did not have any sight problems till last year. Since then vision in my right eye had deteriorated to the point that I could only make out vague blurs of lightness and darkness with a bit of colour. I lost the ability to drive and had my computer set to a high zoom level to compensate.

I had surgery on my right eye on Tuesday and now my vision is almost back to where it was before. I have another op due in a fortnight for the left eye.

I don't really see how cataract surgery is ableist. I do understand the authors frustration about society and the way it treats disabled people but that has nothing to do with this surgical procedure.
