I'm an Ophthalmologist from Mexico and I think this thechnique is the best option for our patients because its done according to these modern standards: through small incision,safe and economical.

I was performing for 8 years that technique while we were waiting for our phaco machine. If you are aware about the significant astigmatism,the time you have to wait for the corneal edema to subside; it´s up to you if you take this surgery. My feeling is that no matter where the patients are from, goverments,institutions, labs altogether has to do their best in order to provide the best eye care. I know and all we know it is possible

Excellent, but not only for India or Pakistan¡ How long are the waiting lists in Europe health care? How many customers would you have in USA even at 10x the cost in India? 15x 10 = 150$ An excellent technique is universal.
