Both Indian and imported lenses can be effective for cataract surgery. Imported lenses often have advanced features like better night vision, reduced glare, and longer durability, but they are costlier. Indian lenses have improved a lot and are suitable in most cases. The choice depends on your father‚Äôs lifestyle, visual needs, and budget‚Äîdiscuss with the ophthalmologist for personalized advice.
