Hi Doctors,
My Father is diagnosed with Cataract in both the eyes. I have two questions related to this.
1. MONOFOCAL LENS VS MULTIFOCAL LENS?
2. ROBOTIC CATARACT SURGERY VS REGULAR LASER SURGERY
I am not concerned about the expenses. My only worry is the success of this surgery and the recovery post-surgery.
Please advise

I personally would prefer a monofocal lens over multifocal.
Things will basically depend on the work profile of your father.
Yes, you can go for robotic cataract surgery if there is no money constraint.
For details you can take online consultation. Or you can discuss pros and cons with your operating surgeon.
