View allWhat's the difference in recovery time between Indian and imported lenses for cataract surgery if I go with phaco? The Indian lens needs a 2.8 mm incision while the imported one only needs 1.8 mm does the smaller cut mean faster healing? I'm trying to decide which option is better for me
Yes, generally, a smaller incision in cataract surgery, like the 1.8 mm incision for imported lenses, does tend to lead to faster recovery time. This is because smaller incisions result in less trauma to the eye tissue, which translates to less inflammation and quicker healing. While both Indian and imported lenses can be used with phacoemulsification, the smaller incision size of MICS (Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery) can lead to a faster recovery.

I've had multiple eye surgeries including gas tamponade for retinal detachment 14 years ago and cataract surgery last year. Recently had silicon oil removal but my retina detached again. Now dealing with CNVM and silicon oil still in place. What's the safest way to remove the silicon oil without causing another retinal detachment? My vision is completely gone in that eye and I'm really worried about further complications
