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?

Here's a natural, conversational rephrasing of the query: I have an eye power of -3 and want to reduce it naturally with Ayurveda. Can Ayurveda really help improve eyesight without surgery? If yes, how long would it usually take to see results? This version keeps the tone genuine and specific while sounding organic in an online consultation. Let me know if you'd like any refinements!

ophthal opinion is advised.

My right eye has SPH 13.0, CYL 2.0, and AXIS 170, while my left eye has SPH 7.5, CYL 1.5, and AXIS 175. I currently wear glasses but I'm considering LASIK surgery would I be a good candidate for it with these numbers? I'm a bit worried about the high SPH in my right eye and how that might affect the results.

Yes ICL is the best option option before you. Or You may use contact lenses. You must not use specs
