Best opthamologist in CT for cataract surgery

[ERosie4]

I am looking for the BEST opthamologist in the CT area to do cataract surgery.  Case is complicated.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you

For complicated cataract surgery, you may want to visit New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. It's a top 10 eye hospital in the US and doctors there routinely perform complicated cat surgery. Call them and they'll hook you up with a right doc.

My mother who is 68 years old and lives in India, has been diagnosed as needing cataract surgery. I was wondering if someone could give me a ball park estimate of how much this surgery would cost in the US . She does not have Medicare or insurance. Alternatively, would it be possible to purchase a replacement lens and ship it to India to have the local eye doctors do it for her?
Thanks

First ?  All costs: surgeon, tests, surgery, drugs, surgicenter charges, etc  $3000-5000/eye. You may be able to negotiate a cash discount.
Second ?  NO
