Cataract Surgery By Phacoemulsification Technique, Multifocal / Toric Lens Implantation
Phacoemulsification is the latest technique of cataract surgery nowadays. No anesthesia/injection is required in this technique. Patients are discharged on the same day. We do not apply eye patches in most of the cases after surgery. No stitches are applied. This surgery is done using the OERTLI PHACOEMULSIFICATION SYSTEM which is one of the finest machines in the world for this procedure. In this technique a small incision (1.8/2.2/2.8 mm ) is made over the cornea & cataract is removed by creating small pieces by OERTLI PHACOEMULSIFICATION SYSTEM. After the removal of the cataractous lens, a foldable intra-ocular lens (IOL ) is placed inside the eye through (a 1.8/2.2/2.8 mm incision ) in the same place from where the cataractous lens was removed. All this procedure is done using anesthetic drops only. No injection is required in most of the cases
FAQs
A cataract is an opacity or cloudiness in the natural lens of the eye. It is still the leading cause of blindness worldwide. In India it is commonly known as Safed Motia. When the lens is partially opaque, it is called an immature cataract and some light can pass through to help perform some routine functions. However, when the opacity increases to engulf the entire lens, vision is totally cut off and the cataract is mature.
