My father is 50 years old. Recently through eye checkup, we found that there is a mild cataract formation on both the eyes. So a surgery is to be done. And he does not want to use Spectacles at all. In XXXXXXX Eye Hospital, they have suggested him to go for Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery with replacement of natural lens by symfony lens. We are well aware of its cost. Please tell us about the surgery, its long time benefits and whether it's appropriate for him to go ahead with it. The doctor assures us of life long proper vision without any side effects or the usage of specs.
