Multifocal lenses, while beneficial for many, aren't suitable for everyone undergoing cataract surgery. Certain individuals may experience visual disturbances or have underlying eye conditions that make multifocal lenses less effective or even contraindicated. Phacoemulsification (phaco) is a common and effective technique, but other options, like laser-assisted cataract surgery, offer different advantages for some patients

Question

Shankar Netralaya in Chennai diagnosed my daughter with retinitis pigmentosa in her eyes. I read online that the only available surgery is bionic eye in the US, but I wanted to check if there are any other successful treatments in India maybe in allopathy, ayurveda, or homeopathy. If not, can you suggest a doctor in India who does the bionic eye procedure?

Question

In my recent eye exam, I noticed that my vision power has decreased from 4.00 to 3.5 in both eyes, and I've been told there's a cylindrical power of 1 in both eyes now. I'm wondering if it's a good or bad thing that my vision power went down like this without any treatment or surgery. Also, if I start wearing glasses with the prescribed cylindrical power, is there a chance that the cylindrical issue will improve over time?
