Thanks a lot Doctor,
This surgery is for my wife. I visited DR. XXXXXXX Eye Hosp, Coles Road, Bangalore. The people there were nice and investigated my wife and found that she has cataract in both the eyes. They explained very clearly about this cataract, treatment procedure and type of lenses available. For multifocal IOL, they are charging 0000 per eye and this would cost me around 1.2 Lakhs. Not sure about this pricing and went online the pricing. Now, I am not sure whether the whole cost will be covered by my insurance company as well.
Is multifocal lens are really needed? Is not possible to manage with monofocal lens? If mono focal lens are preferred, glasses need to be weared?

Dear XXXXXXX,
Thanks for replying back.
Multifocal IOL is a luxury, not a necessity. Hence insurance will not cover the whole amount. One can manage with monofocal lenses, but will need glasses for reading.
