Phacoemulsification
Phacoemulsification is the most advanced and widely used cataract surgery technique.
It employs ultrasonic vibrations to break up the clouded natural lens, which is then removed and replaced with a clear intraocular lens (IOL).
The procedure restores sharp vision with minimal discomfort and rapid recovery.
Overview And Clinical Background
Ultrasonic cataract removal with precision
Phacoemulsification revolutionized cataract treatment, offering small-incision, sutureless surgery.
It enables fast healing and near-immediate visual improvement.
- Purpose: To remove a cataract-affected lens and restore clarity.
- Technology: Ultrasonic probe breaks and aspirates the cloudy lens.
- Replacement: Artificial intraocular lens (IOL) implanted for clear vision.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Cataract symptoms include hazy or yellowed vision, glare, and poor night sight.
Surgery becomes necessary once daily life is affected.
- Blurry vision: Gradual decline in sharpness or clarity.
- Light sensitivity: Glare or halos around lights.
- Color dullness: Perception of faded colors or contrast.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Comprehensive cataract evaluation
Eye examination determines cataract type, severity, and lens power for replacement.
- Slit-lamp exam: Evaluates cataract density and lens opacity.
- Visual acuity test: Measures how much vision is affected.
- Biometry: Calculates IOL power for precise visual outcome.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
The procedure uses a micro-incision and advanced ultrasonic energy for minimal trauma and quick recovery.
- Small corneal incision: Allows probe insertion without sutures.
- Phaco probe action: Ultrasonic energy emulsifies and removes the cataract.
- Lens implantation: IOL inserted to restore clear vision immediately.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
Patients regain clear sight within a day or two.
Risks like infection or inflammation are rare and easily managed.
Long-term success rates exceed 98%.
