Phaco eye surgery

Under Phaco eye surgery, a phakic intraocular lens or implantable collamer lens is placed inside the eyes. The procedure uses an ultrasonic device to break down the cataract or the cloudy lens through a procedure called phacoemulsification. The procedure, developed as an alternative to the old procedure requiring long incision in the eye and longer hospital stay and post care and recovery time, has been able to reduce the pain involved by limiting the incision for the surgery to a very small length. This procedure also involves smaller cut in the eye thus making the recovery time much smaller than what was in the case of older procedures. This procedure requires monitoring of heart rate and blood pressure despite the fact that the anaesthesia used is a localised one. Improvement in technology ever since it was devised, this kind of surgery has become more and more popular and has gone a step further with the innovation of foldable IOL; the lens that can be inserted inside the eyes through a very small incision.

Phaco eye surgeryy is done by propagating ultrasound waves through a special instrument into the eye to destroy the cataract. The cataract and the lens particles are later removed by suction. Finally an intraocular lens implant is placed into the lens capsule. Since this surgery is minimally invasive, it takes only about 20 minutes to complete it for one eye. In one session only one eye is corrected. However, no hospitalization is necessary and the patient is usually treated only as an outpatient.

That Phaco eye surgery works better than the conventional surgery for cataract is proven by American Academy of Ophthalmology, whose survey found out that nearly 95% of the patients were quite satisfied with the results. Phaco eye surgery is much preferred over the conventional method since it is more quicker, and its recovery is also speedier, and there are lesser complications involved.

With Phaco and Lasik making waves, the eye care scenario for patients in India is at its brightest best.
