[Leica] Cataract Surgery advise/recommendations

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

Ric,

Just one more point to add to all the advice that you have had. I have had
Retinopathy operations in both my eyes, followed by cataract
procedures over the last decade. My retina surgeon, one of the best in
India, advised me to get neutral lenses for the cataract, I think they were
-0.5 and continue using my spectacles for the lowest probability of
something going wrong, so that is what I did.

Cheers
Jayanand
