my dad needs cataract surgery and I'm confused about whether to go for an Indian lens or an imported one what are the key differences and which one would be better for his condition
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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’s lifestyle, visual needs, and budget—discuss with the ophthalmologist for personalized advice.

How can I gently wean my almost 2-year-old off breastfeeding since I need to have refractive surgery soon She's down to just a few feeds but refuses to stop completely and I'm not sure how to make the transition easier for her
Hi. You need only 2days to wean off. Be little bold. Any further information you need connect with direct consult.
