Phako

Currently the best accepted technique to remove cataract the world over is through Phaco-emulsification. A small 3 mm incision is placed in the eye and a hollow Phaco needle is introduced through the opening. On giving energy through the tip of the Phaco needle, the cataract lens gets dissolved and sucked out through this needle. An artificial lens called a foldable Intra-Ocular lens is now injected through this small opening. Once inside the eye, it opens up and serves to replace the original lens. Since the eye opening is very small and designed in a special manner, it seals and no sutures are required. Hence this procedure is also popularly known as ‘stitchless’ cataract surgery.

How is this technique better than conventional technique?
The main advantages of Phaco are that a person has a good vision the very next day and may resume routine activities also the very next day. Stitches and related problems are things of the past. A person may now accomplish routine activities without spectacles, however a little spectacle correction may be required for fine focusing for distance and near.

Is this technique more expensive than conventional stitch technique?

Hi-tech expensive equipment and disposables are required to execute a good surgery, making it a little more expensive than the conventional technique.
