Phacoemulsification
Advanced No-Stitch Cataract Surgery using ultrasound technology for gentle and effective lens removal. Expert care by Dr. Vikash Vaibhav.
What is Phacoemulsification?
Phacoemulsification is the gold standard for cataract removal. This advanced no-stitch surgery uses ultrasound technology to break up cataracts for gentle removal.
The surgeon makes a small incision and uses a tiny ultrasound probe to break the cloudy lens into microscopic fragments, which are then gently suctioned out and replaced with an artificial lens.
