Exploring Phacoemulsification Surgery

Experience & Understand Our Approach to Phacoemulsification Surgery

Phacoemulsification

Phacoemulsification is the emulsification or liquefaction of the eye’s natural lens, and it is derived from the Greek word “phakos” for lens. It is the most recent cataract surgery approach, utilizing cutting-edge technologies to ensure a safe and effective surgical operation.

This innovative surgical approach has transformed cataract surgery, allowing for safer, faster, and more precise surgeries. Phacoemulsification uses a tiny ultrasonic probe to break up the hazy lens (cataract) into little fragments. These particles are then gently suctioned out, leaving a clean region within the eye.

Kelman introduced phacoemulsification in 1967, and it revolutionized cataract management and visual rehabilitation in the following years. Cataract surgery procedures and outcomes have evolved dramatically over the last few decades, with smaller incisions and foldable lenses becoming the norm rather than the exception.

Moreover, most cataract procedures in the world now use this surgical approach, which has great visual outcomes, and patient safety.

What Is A Phacoemulsification Surgery?

Phacoemulsification Surgery Overview

To explain phacoemulsification in simple terms, let’s first talk about cataracts and how cataract surgery works.

A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, a clear, oval-shaped structure behind the pupil. During cataract surgery, the surgeon removes this cloudy lens and replaces it with a new artificial lens.

Now, phacoemulsification is a technique used in this surgery to remove the cloudy lens.

Advantages of Phacoemulsification Surgery at Our Hospital

This novel technique has numerous major advantages
Advanced Techniques
Our team utilizes cutting-edge techniques for phaco surgery, ensuring minimal invasion. This reduces infection risks and promotes faster healing, leading to a comfortable experience for patients during and after the procedure.
Swift Recovery
With our refined approach, recovery time is significantly shortened compared to traditional methods. Many patients report noticeable improvements in their vision within just a few days, thanks to the small incision and gentle procedure.
Enhanced Precision
Our skilled surgeons employ ultrasonic probes in phacoemulsification, enabling precise control and minimizing trauma to surrounding eye tissues. This precision not only enhances safety but also ensures superior visual outcomes for our patients.
Tailored IOL Solutions
Phacoemulsification is often coupled with Intraocular Lens (IOL) implantation, allowing our team to customize solutions according to individual vision needs. Whether it's a monofocal, multifocal, extended depth of focus (EDOF), or toric lens, we select the most suitable option for optimal results.

Treatment: Phaco Surgery Procedure

Before undergoing phaco surgery, patients undergo a thorough eye examination to determine the severity of their condition and the most suitable approach for cataract removal. The procedure unfolds through the following steps
One or two small incisions are made at the cornea's edge.
The fragmented lens fibers are then gently aspirated using suction.
A delicate opening is fashioned in the covering enveloping the lens.
Saline solution is gently injected into the lens capsule to separate it from the surrounding capsule.
A replacement lens, known as an intraocular lens, is delicately inserted into the capsule to restore clear vision.
Numbing eye drops are administered to ensure comfort, while a lid speculum is gently positioned to keep the eyelids in place.
Typically, no sutures are needed to close the incisions. However, in the interest of the patient's eye, a few stitches may be necessary.
An ultrasonic handheld device is carefully employed to fragment the cataract-afflicted portion of the lens. This device emits controlled pulses of ultrasonic waves at varying speeds to break down the lens fibers.
The entire procedure usually lasts between 10 to 15 minutes and is conducted on an outpatient basis. Before discharge, the medical team provides comprehensive recovery instructions and schedules follow-up appointments for ongoing care.

FAQs

How Much Does Phaco Surgery Cost in Chandigarh?
The cost of phaco surgery in Chandigarh typically ranges from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 1,30,000. However, the exact cost can vary depending on factors such as the type of cataract, the choice of replacement or intraocular lens, hospital charges, post-surgery care, and other related expenses.
What are the Risks Associated with Phaco Surgery?

Phaco eye surgery, like any medical procedure, carries potential risks. These may include:
1. Posterior capsular rupture
2. Vitreous loss
3. Dropped nucleus or nuclear fragments
4. Retinal detachment

If Surgery is done by an experienced surgeon, then we could negate the above-mentioned Risk factors.
Moreover, case selection also plays an important role.

How soon will I notice improvements in my vision?
Many patients experience immediate improvements after phacoemulsification, with vision continuing to improve and stabilize over the following weeks.
Will I still need glasses after phacoemulsification?
The necessity for glasses varies based on factors such as the type of intraocular lens (IOL) implanted and individual visual requirements. Some patients may need glasses for specific activities, while others may experience reduced dependence on them.
Are there any dietary restrictions after surgery?
Generally, there are no strict dietary restrictions after phacoemulsification. However, it's important to maintain a healthy diet to support overall well-being.
Which Lens is Recommended for Phaco Cataract Surgery?
Trifocal lenses are often considered the best choice for most patients as they offer clear vision at various distances—distant, intermediate, and nearby. However, the selection of the lens ultimately depends on the professional needs of Ot, and the dimensions of the eye.
Does phacoemulsification irritate?
No, typically the procedure is painless due to local anesthesia. Some patients might experience mild discomfort or irritation afterward, which can be managed easily by simply closing both eyes. Or else with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers.
Can I return to normal activities right away?
While some activities can be resumed shortly after surgery, it's important to adhere to your surgeon's guidelines. Initially, strenuous activities and heavy lifting may need to be avoided.
When can I drive after phacoemulsification?
Typically, driving is permitted once your vision meets legal requirements and you feel comfortable behind the wheel. This varies for each individual, so it's advisable to consult with your surgeon for personalized advice.
How long do the effects of phacoemulsification last?
The effects of phacoemulsification are typically permanent. The artificial intraocular lens (IOL) implanted during the surgery becomes a permanent fixture within the eye.
