Go to Chennai. They do one of the best eye surgeries in Regional Institute of Ophthalmology and Government Ophthalmic Hospital in Chennai. Or you could also try the Apollo Hospital in Sarita Vihar. It is the largest healthcare provider in Asia and the third largest in the world.

Question by not too shabby: Cataract Surgery – Cost of multifocal lens in California?
Hi
My dad is getting a cataract surgery next week and he has Medicare and Medical. Both will cover the cost of a regular bifocal Lens replacement, but they won’t cover the cost of a multifocal if he elects to have it. My questions are:
1- Does anyone know how much it is in Southern CA?
2- Does it work as well as your normal vision (meaning would he see as well as before he had his cataract)?
3- Why does the cost vary by state (I read online that it varied based on where you do it)
4- Can the doctor remove the pterygium at the same time as he replaces the lens or is it better to do the pterygium first then the cataract in a separate surgery (which is what our surgeon told us, but our ophtalmologist told us it could have been done at the same time!)??
Thanks in advance, I really want the best option for my dad!!

Maybe instead of replacing the lens on his eyes, ask your doctor about a hypodermic needle, where they remove the cataract through suction by the hollowness of the needle.
