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

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‚Äîdiscuss these with your surgeon for the best fit.
