Cataract for both eyes

2017-11-10 08:25:43
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,
