Cataract in right eye

2018-04-24 07:42:59
After consultation with doctors, they advised to get the operation done soon. However, they told to go for Phaco type operation. I want know why doctors don't advise for SICS, despite it being a cheaper process. Are there any added advantages or disadvantages?
