Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery
The Best Centre for Phacoemulsification Surgery in Bengaluru
Phacoemulsification is the most common cataract surgery procedure. Cataract surgery is usually performed to recover eyesight in patients whose vision has become cloudy due to cataracts, which are cloudy lenses in the eyes. The surgery involves removing the natural, cataractous lens and replacing it with an artificial, clear intraocular lens (IOL).

Phacoemulsification surgery uses very minimal sedation. In this type of surgery, the surgeon makes two small incisions of about 2 mm in the cornea around the edge of the cornea, creating an opening through the membrane surrounding the lens. A tiny ultrasonic probe is introduced through this incision to use sound waves to break down the lens into small pieces. A suction connection is attached to the probe tip, which is used to suck the broken pieces. A hollow tube is then inserted through the corneal opening to place a foldable intraocular lens in the lens capsule. The corneal incision does not require stitches and heals on its own. The incision heals completely within a few days. Antibiotics, steroids, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly recommended by doctors as post-operative eye drops. Most patients experience an immediate improvement in their vision, and their eyesight tends to improve significantly over a period of 4-5 weeks.
