Surgical Technique

Using "Local anesthesia with drops" which is completely painless, the Cataract is removed with an ultrasound machine called Phacoemulsification .

Through a 2.2 mm incision, the Phacoemulsification machine crushes and aspirates the Cataract within a few minutes, while a special lens is then placed inside the eye, which passes through a 2.2 mm incision (foldable lens) without the need for sutures.
