Shankar Netralaya in Chennai diagnosed my daughter with retinitis pigmentosa in her eyes. I read online that the only available surgery is bionic eye in the US, but I wanted to check if there are any other successful treatments in India maybe in allopathy, ayurveda, or homeopathy. If not, can you suggest a doctor in India who does the bionic eye procedure?

I have a growing conjunctival nevus in my eye but the doctors here are saying it's just dry eye disease. I'm really worried because it seems to be getting worse. Can you explain how the surgery to remove it works and if you provide that treatment, could you share your clinic address?

Conjunctival nevus removal is a short procedure done under local anesthesia‚Äîget a second opinion if growth is rapid or symptomatic.

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.
