Cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision impairment, particularly among older adults. Phacoemulsification, also known as stitchless (sutureless) micro-incision cataract surgery, is a modern, minimally invasive technique that restores clear vision by removing the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

Why Choose Phacoemulsification?

• Minimally Invasive: Requires a small incision (2-3 mm), leading to faster healing.

• No Stitches Required: The incision is self-sealing, eliminating the need for sutures.

• Quick Recovery: Most patients experience improved vision within 24-48 hours.

• Painless Procedure: Performed under topical or local anesthesia, ensuring comfort.

• Enhanced Vision Quality: Advanced IOL options provide sharper vision, reducing dependency on glasses.

Procedure Overview

1. Anesthesia & Preparation: A mild anesthetic eye drop is used to numb the eye.

2. Micro-Incision: A tiny incision is made in the cornea.

3. Ultrasound Lens Removal: A high-frequency ultrasound probe breaks the cataract into tiny fragments, which are then suctioned out.

4. IOL Implantation: A foldable artificial lens is inserted through the same incision.

5. Self-Sealing Closure: The incision naturally seals itself without stitches.

Who Can Benefit from This Surgery?

• Individuals with blurred or cloudy vision due to cataracts.

• Patients experiencing difficulty with night vision and glare sensitivity.

• People whose daily activities are affected by cataract-related vision loss.
