Posterior polar cataract surgery requires expert handling due to risk of capsule rupture; it‚Äôs not an emergency unless vision is rapidly deteriorating.

Question

I have myopia with 5 and 4 power in my right and left eye and recently started seeing flashes. I also have retinal degeneration. I've seen four doctors two recommended barrage laser as a precaution while the other two said to wait unless my retina detaches. I'm 28 and unsure if I should get the laser done now or wait. If I do go for it, should it be done in one session for both eyes or split into multiple sittings? What would you suggest?

Question

My father has been diagnosed with cataract and I'm confused about the best treatment option. There are so many choices with different prices SICS costs around 9000-12500rs, phaco ranges from 18000-35000rs, and MICS is around 44000rs. Which one would be the most effective and safe for him? I want to make sure he gets the right care without unnecessary expenses. Can you explain the differences between these treatments and recommend the best one?
