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 allHow much does LASIK eye surgery usually cost and who is eligible for it I've heard there are risks but not sure what they are exactly also why might someone decide against getting the procedure done
LASIK eye surgery can cost anywhere from ‚Çπ20,000 to ‚Çπ1,50,000 for both eyes in India, depending on the type of procedure and location. Eligibility typically involves having stable vision, a prescription within certain ranges, and generally healthy eyes without certain conditions like glaucoma or keratoconus. Risks include dry eyes, glare, halos, and potential for under or over correction. Some people may choose not to get LASIK due to fear of complications, the cost, or if they don't qualify due to existing eye conditions.

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 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.
