View allis it possible to correct my 1.75 eye power without surgery since I'm only 17 years old
Yes, it is possible to correct a 1.75 diopter (1.75 eye power) without surgery, even at your age. While the most common and permanent solution for vision correction is surgery (like LASIK), there are other options available, including eyeglasses, contact lenses, and even certain treatments that can help slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness), which is a common cause of needing glasses or contacts. Since you're 17, your eyes may still be developing, and it's worth exploring all options with an eye doctor

My mom needs cataract surgery and the doctor gave two options a 2.8mm incision with an Indian lens or a 1.8mm one with an imported lens. Which one is better for her? I'm a bit confused about the difference in incision size and lens quality
Any lens can be implemented ie Indian or imported through either incisions. And results will be almost equal. So please look into your budget.
