View allI'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—discuss these with your surgeon for the best fit.

I've had a squint in my right eye since childhood but it's become more noticeable lately. I'm 28 now are there non-surgical ways to fix this? Could special glasses or eye exercises help correct it?
In such cases, corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses can help by adjusting the focus, allowing the eyes to align more naturally. This is a squint eye treatment in adults that may be practical for addressing refractive errors. Prescription eyewear compensates for vision issues that might lead to squinting

I have a squint eye and heard it might not be fully correctable as an adult. What kind of improvement can I expect from cosmetic squint surgery, and what are the costs and risks involved? One of my eyes has also become lazy.
Squint surgery in adults can significantly improve eye alignment, reduce or eliminate double vision, and boost self-confidence. While it can't always fully correct the issue, it often provides substantial improvements in function and appearance. Lazy eye can also be treated, and surgical correction of the squint may enhance the lazy eye's ability to function. The cost of surgery varies, but it's generally considered a safe procedure
