My mom needs cataract surgery and the surgeon explained the lens options really well but was vague about the actual technique he just mentioned MICS and said to leave it to him. Is MICS safe for her and how exactly is it done? I'm a bit worried since he didn't share more details

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!
