What is Phaco Surgery?
Phaco surgery or phacoemulsification is a surgical treatment performed to remove the clouded part of the lens, i.e., cataract. It is a type of cataract surgery that utilizes ultrasonic waves to break the lens into tiny pieces. Then the lens pieces are suctioned out, and an artificial lens is implanted over the eye capsule to restore vision.
It is a highly successful and most commonly used technique for cataract removal. The visual outcomes after phaco surgery are also excellent and long-lasting.
