Phacoemulsification

Phacoemulsification
Patients with cataracts, or clouding of the lens of the eye, may undergo Phacoemulsification surgery to improve their eyesight. Ultrasonic waves are used in this kind of cataract surgery to break the lens into tiny pieces, which are then vacuumed out of the patient's eye. The treatment is finished by using an artificial lens to replace the injured one. A complex tool called a phaco machine is used to perform phacoemulsification. To precisely deliver the ultrasonic energy, it is made up of a handpiece, foot pedal, irrigation and aspiration system, and a number of tips bent at various angles. When phacoemulsification is used, the replacement lens usually corrects vision right away and becomes a stable, permanent component of the eye. Phacoemulsification is by far the most common type of cataract surgery performed in the developed world.

Advantages:

• It is a type of Invasive surgery.
• Phacoemulsification is the fastest surgery to perform.
• It ensures a more stable foundation for the replacement lens.
• It's easier to find a surgeon who performs phacoemulsification.

It helps in restoring vision in people with cataracts, or clouding of the eye's lens.
