How Our Specialists Conduct Cataract Surgery:-
The surgery is advised when cataracts impact your vision or hinder the treatment of other eye conditions.
01.
Phacoemulsification
This cataract surgery utilizes ultrasonic waves to break the lens into small fragments, which are then suctioned out using a vacuum. The incision is minimal and doesn’t require stitches. Once the lens is removed, an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted to restore clear vision.
02.
Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS)
This is a variation of ECCE that doesn’t require multiple sutures. It involves creating a self-sealing sclerocorneal tunnel for the extraction of the cloudy lens, with the intraocular lens (IOL) being placed in the lens capsular bag.
03.
Microincision Cataract Surgery (MICS)
Microincision cataract surgery (MICS) is a advanced technique that removes cataracts through incisions smaller than 1.8 mm. MICS is designed to enhance vision, minimize discomfort, and accelerate recovery compared to traditional cataract surgery.
05.
Monofocal IOL
It is designed to offer clear vision at a single fixed distance, typically for far sight. Patients will need to use glasses for close-up tasks, such as reading.
06.
Toric IOL
A Toric IOL is a specialized lens used in cataract surgery to correct vision issues caused by astigmatism, while also providing clear distance vision. It has varying power across different meridians to counteract the irregular shape of the cornea that leads to astigmatism.
07.
Multifocal IOL
This lens offers clear vision at multiple distances—near, intermediate, and far—through distinct zones or rings with varying focal lengths. This type of lens minimizes the need for glasses following surgery.
08.
Complications and risks associated with cataract surgery
Cataract surgery is safe but may have risks like infection, inflammation, high eye pressure, or capsule tears, sometimes requiring additional or prolonged surgery.
