Cataract Surgery .

🛑Phacoemulsification is a step in the cataract removal procedure. 📍An ultrasonic device is used to break up (emulsify) the eye’s cloudy lens. 📍The residue of the broken lens is then removed. 📍Phacoemulsification is a quite minimally invasive technique, only requiring a small incision in the eye, through which the probe is inserted to perform the emulsification. 📍After this step, an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is placed to restore your vision. ⚡Step-By-Step Phaco Surgery Procedure : 🔺️Anaesthetic: 📍The patient is given a local anaesthetic to numb the eye and reduce any pain or discomfort during the procedure. 📍Sedatives may also be administered to help the patient relax. 🔺️Incision: 📍A tiny incision is made in the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. 🔺️Capsulotomy: 📍A circular opening is made in the lens capsule, which is a thin membrane that surrounds the lens. 🔺️Phacoemulsification: 📍A small probe is inserted through the incision and into the lens. 📍The probe emits high-frequency ultrasound waves that break up the cloudy lens into small pieces, which are then suctioned out of the eye. 🔺️IOL Implant: 📍Once the cloudy lens has been removed, an artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL), is inserted into the same lens capsule (bag) that holds the natural lens. 🔺️Closure: 📍The technique performed means that the incision created is self-sealing. 📍The entire procedure typically takes approximately 8 minutes to complete and is performed on an outpatient basis, which means the patient can go home the same day.
