To Ophthalmologists... Which intra-ocular lens is the best for my father?

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

I am writing after a long time, I know. But, I am completely aware of what is

going on here... from all discussions, to suggestions...to some " rooth jana " ,

travel advice etc etc.

The reason I am addressing Ophthalmologists is that my father has cataract (both

eyes). I am convincing him to get intraocular lens but he is little afraid of it

(just as old people find it difficult to adjust to new technologies). He is

worried because of the price of Intraocular lenses. He has been told that price

of Intraocular lenses varies from Rs 800 to Rs 20,000 (this is quite possible

that he may have forgotten the figures). He is surprised as to how the range is

so big. It has been left to him to decide. He asked me and I do not know

anything about it. I promised him that I will inform you the best. I depended on

our group.

My father is about to celebrate his 85th birth day, is lean and thin, very

active, walks a lot, no hypertension/diabetes/arthritis/heart or any other

problem.

So, dear ophthalmologists, please inform me how many types of intraocular lenses

are there and which will be best for him?

Please contact me on , with Intraocular lens in the

subject line.

Thanks a lot in advance.
