What's the difference in recovery time between Indian and imported lenses for cataract surgery if I go with phaco? The Indian lens needs a 2.8 mm incision while the imported one only needs 1.8 mm does the smaller cut mean faster healing? I'm trying to decide which option is better for me
Yes, generally, a smaller incision in cataract surgery, like the 1.8 mm incision for imported lenses, does tend to lead to faster recovery time. This is because smaller incisions result in less trauma to the eye tissue, which translates to less inflammation and quicker healing. While both Indian and imported lenses can be used with phacoemulsification, the smaller incision size of MICS (Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery) can lead to a faster recovery.
