Phacoemulsification procedure – Bharti Eye Foundation

The current surgical approach, phacoemulsification, removes cataracts using a high-tech apparatus called a phaco machine. The phaco machine is a tool that includes a handpiece, pedal, irrigation system, suction system, and a number of tips that are bent at various angles to precisely administer ultrasonic energy to break the cataract-affected lens of the eye. Phacoemulsification can restore your vision. Simple daily tasks include reading, driving, watching TV, and other things. Mobility is enhanced by improved vision.

In a person with cataracts, the natural lens of the eye gets clouded, resulting in hazy, unclear, and darker vision.

The procedure of phacoemulsification

• General anaesthetic is used to initially numb your eye and ensure that you are not experiencing any pain or discomfort.
• At the edge of the cornea, the ophthalmologist creates one or two extremely small incisions. The membrane encasing the lens is then pierced by him.
• To aid in the lens's separation from the capsule that surrounds it, saline is injected into the eye.
• A set of ultrasonic needles that pulse (oscillate) at various rates are used by the surgeon to slice the lens into tiny pieces.
• The phaco foot pedal regulates the oscillation's rate. Then a vacuum is used to remove these particles.
• The damaged lens is subsequently replaced with an intraocular lens implant (IOL), a brand-new artificial lens made of silicone or acrylic that is implanted into the capsule thanks to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure.
