My grandmother is 73 and has BP, an eye specialist recommended cataract surgery for her. The counselor gave lens options ranging from Rs 9500 to 30000 and mentioned that cheaper lenses might lead to a layer forming over the cataract in the future. What's the best lens choice to prevent this issue later on? Also, what's the right approach for her surgery considering her age and BP?
