They will do one eye at a time just in case something goes wrong. That way, you still have the other eye and are not blind.

There is no reason to choose one eye over the other in cases of bilateral cataract...Its the surgeons choice...unless one of the eye shows any complications due to cataract ,in which case that side will be the first to undergo surgery.
Both eyes are not simultaneously operated to avoid post operative inconvenience to patient.

Actually, the real answer is that the surgeons will usually operate on the eye that's worse. That way, if there's a complication and the patient loses sight in the operative eye, at least the remaining eye with vision will be the better one.

People do have a dominant eye, just as they are left handed or right handed, they are left eyed, or right eyed. The surgeon will always do the non-dominant eye first. This allows better sight when the dominant eye is out of use.

Not always but vary likely.
This eye is usually in more advance stage, there is a window of opportunity when operation is successful.
Rule is whichever is ready, for opperation. It must be ripe for operation.

This is not a universal practice. My right eye was done first.
