Cataract for both eyes
Hello,
My father has Cataract in his both eyes.
The local doctor mentioned that one eye has 50% and the other a bit more.
Some info about him.
Heavy smoker
No diabetic
No blood pressure
Skinny body
I have some concerns:
How long the cataract operation will take for both eyes?
I know it can't be for both in same time, how long the gap between the first and the second eye operation?
When the patient will be ready to go home after the operation? (We are from outside India).
How much the cost for both eyes?
Thanks,
the difference between both operations must be approx 2to3 wk. time taken in operation is about 15 to 20 Mts. but including preparation it takes about 2 to 3 hrs for hospital stay.the cost for phaco surgery will be about 25 to 75k.for one eye.it is done under local anaesthesia.
