I am not sure of the exact category of the surgery advised to us but as per your description i believe it should be phako.
I would specifically want to know which brands Monofocal lenses should be good. i.e ‘AcrySof IQ ReSTOR’ by Alcon and ‘ReZoom’ and ‘Tecnis’ which are made by Abbott Medical Optics, Zeiss etc. They are available in different price range, if money is not an issue which brands Monofocal lense you would suggest and why?
