My mom is 53 and a homemaker needing cataract surgery. The doctor gave options like manual surgery with Indian lens, phaco emulsification with hydrophilic Indian lens, phaco with imported lens, and phaco with imported preloaded ozonated lens. I don't want to overspend but also don't want to compromise on her care. Which one would be the best choice for her?
