My father has Diabetes an
My father has Diabetes and has cataract 100%. Getting good doctor consultancy is tough. His diabetes is under control now after treatment 140 before fast and 170 after lunch.
Considering above condition I have following questions:
Can someone suggest whats better for this situation ?
----> mono-focal or multi-focal ?
Which company ?
----> Alcon or Symfony ?
Do you guys have experience with Symfony (Extended Range of Vision) ? I read its good because its better than regular IOL mono-focals, is that true ?
Any known issues with above Symfony lense ?
Thanks,
Jiten

Hello
1.Mono or multifocal lens is decided by keratometer readings of cornea. if Difference between vertical and horizontal keratometer readings is less than 1 D...multifocal lens will give good results ...if it is more than 1D then your father will need glasses after Surgery
2. No multifocal lens gives 100% guarantee of glasses free life after surgery
3. Decision will also be guided by the retina status. In case of macular edema monofocal will be preferred
