My mother has cataracts in both eyes and the doctor recommended surgery for her right eye soon before it gets worse. Can you help me understand how to choose between monofocal and multifocal IOLs? What are the costs for each type in India, and how long is the recovery after surgery? Also, what precautions should she take post-surgery? I'd like to know all the options available for cataract surgery and their costs.

For cataract surgery, a monofocal Intraocular Lens (IOL) provides clear vision at a single distance (usually far vision), while a multifocal IOL offers vision at multiple distances (near, intermediate, and far). Multifocal IOLs generally cost more but may reduce the need for glasses after surgery. Cataract surgery costs in India vary significantly, typically ranging from INR 25,000 to INR 1,20,000, depending on the IOL type and hospital
