I'm a 24-year-old guy with cataract in my left eye, and my doctor recommended surgery but couldn't pinpoint why it happened. I'm confused about which lens to choose for the surgery are there different types based on quality? How do I know what's best for me?

Had C3R surgery in both eyes a year ago and stopped wearing RGP lenses because they were uncomfortable now just using glasses. Could my eyesight still improve or cornea shape change over time? Do I really need to keep wearing contact lenses after the procedure?

I had ICL surgery 5 years back and lately I've been experiencing really bad dryness in my eyes only at night before bed. I use my laptop for about 9-10 hours daily and tried Refresh tear drops but they don't seem to help much at night. What else can I try to relieve this dryness

Apollo Hospital is best for it.

I had LASIK done a while back but lost my records if I need cataract surgery later, could not having those LASIK details cause problems with my vision or eye health

Losing LASIK records generally won't affect future cataract surgery, as the main concern is the health of your eyes. However, knowing your LASIK history can help with understanding any changes in eye health over time.
