How do you select an eye surgeon for cataract surgery?

I'm a 40 year old male and need to have a cataract surgery in my right eye.
My aunt, a pediatrician, recommended an eye surgeon in my area. He has a
good reputation and 24 years of experience. I have high myopia, so he sent
me to a retina specialist to make sure my retina is fine. The specialist,
after examining my eye and doing OCT and FA, _convincingly_said to me, "You
don't have to see like this. Have a surgery and you'll see much better." In
contrast, my eye surgeon's take on my surgery is something like, "You MIGHT
see better." I think he's very cautious.
I know that at the end of the day it's the surgeon's skills that matter. I
guess my question is, "Would you be more comfortable with a cautious surgeon
or an assuring one?"
