About Phacoemulsification
Phacoemulsification is a modern and widely performed cataract surgery technique that uses ultrasound energy to break up the cloudy natural lens before removing it. It is one of the safest and most effective methods for cataract treatment, offering quick recovery and excellent visual results.
Our hospital uses advanced phaco machines and high-quality intraocular lenses to ensure precision, safety, and superior outcomes. This technique allows patients to regain clear vision with minimal discomfort and minimal downtime.
Procedure
Phacoemulsification begins with a comprehensive eye examination to determine the suitable lens implant and surgical plan.
A small incision is made in the cornea, and a specialized probe uses ultrasound energy to break the cloudy lens into tiny fragments, which are gently suctioned out. A foldable intraocular lens is then inserted to replace the removed lens.
The procedure is usually stitch-free, performed under local anesthesia, and completed within a short time. Patients typically experience rapid visual improvement and can resume normal activities within a few days, following the prescribed post-operative care instructions.
