Phacoemulsification, commonly known as Phaco, is a modern cataract surgery technique used to treat cataracts, which is the clouding of the eye's natural lens. In this procedure, the cloudy lens is broken up into small pieces using ultrasonic waves and then removed from the eye. After the cataract is removed, an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted to restore clear vision.
Phacoemulsification is a minimally invasive procedure that requires only a small incision, reducing the risk of complications and speeding up recovery. It is one of the most advanced and widely used methods for cataract surgery, offering patients faster healing times, less discomfort, and improved vision outcomes.
