I'm getting cataract surgery on Monday but I'm really confused about choosing between Indian lenses and imported lenses. Are Indian lenses just as good or should I go for imported ones? I need some advice to make the right decision
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Both Indian and imported lenses can offer excellent outcomes if chosen correctly. Indian lenses like Aurolab or Appasamy have improved significantly and are cost-effective, while imported ones like Alcon or Zeiss may offer advanced features like better contrast sensitivity or multifocality. Your choice should depend on your visual needs, lifestyle, and budget—discuss these with your surgeon for the best fit.

View allI've had high myopia for the past 2 years with my right eye at SPH 4.0 CYL 5.0 AXIS 20 VA 624 and left eye SPH 3.5 CYL 4.5 AXIS 160 VA 69. My doctor says there's no way to reduce my number but I'm really hoping there might be some treatment or surgery that could help. I'm only 17 and worried about my vision getting worse are there any options for me?

What happens if the sphincter muscle in the eye gets cut or damaged during cataract surgery and how do doctors fix this issue
If the sphincter muscle, responsible for pupillary constriction, is damaged during cataract surgery, the pupil may become dilated and may not react properly to light. Doctors can often fix this through surgical repair of the iris, which may include suturing the sphincter muscle and potentially repositioning or replacing the intraocular lens if it's also affected
