My father has been diagnosed with cataract and I'm confused about the best treatment option. There are so many choices with different prices SICS costs around 9000-12500rs, phaco ranges from 18000-35000rs, and MICS is around 44000rs. Which one would be the most effective and safe for him? I want to make sure he gets the right care without unnecessary expenses. Can you explain the differences between these treatments and recommend the best one?

I have a squint eye and I'm considering surgery but I'm worried it might cause vision loss is that a common risk or are there safer options to fix this

Vision loss is not a common risk with squint surgery, but it's important to be aware of potential risks, including temporary vision changes, double vision, and in rare cases, a permanent decrease in vision. There are safer, non-surgical options like vision therapy, glasses, and prism lenses that can address squint without the risks of surgery
