I'm considering ICL surgery but I'm a strict vegetarian and worried about the collamer lenses from STAAR Surgical. I read online that they might be derived from animal sources is that true? If not, where do they come from? And is it possible to get ICL lenses that are 100% plant-based?
No, Collamer lenses used in STAAR Surgical's Visian ICL surgery are not derived from animal sources, and they are not 100% plant-based. They are a synthetic material that is specifically designed to be biocompatible with the eye and not derived from any animal products, though the lens does contain a small amount of purified collagen.

My father needs cataract surgery but he also has diabetes. I'm a bit worried and wanted to ask what sugar level is considered safe for the surgery? Also, if the cataract is fully matured, is laser surgery better or should we go for manual? And could you suggest the best doctor in Pune for diabetic patients needing cataract surgery someone with high success rates? I've heard about Sankara Netralaya in Chennai would you recommend going there instead?
A diabetic patient with a blood glucose level of 140 to 200mg/dL is considered as maximum when opting for cataract surgery. Surgeons can relax on the phaco energy, running of fluid through the eyes. Poor pupillary dilation and careless procedure can cause damage to the intraocular lens.
