Which monofocal lens is better for cataract surgery Tecnis 1 or something else? I'm trying to decide what to go with and want to know the pros and cons of each option

Both the Tecnis 1 monofocal lens and others like the AcrySof Natural are great choices. Tecnis 1 offers excellent clarity and contrast, but the choice depends on your specific needs (like astigmatism). Discuss with your ophthalmologist the best lens for your lifestyle and visual needs.

My eyes sometimes get squinty because of intermittent exotropia sometimes they're fine, other times they drift. Is surgery an option to fix this? I'm based in Chennai, so I'd like to know if there are good treatment options here.
