About Phaco Surgery

Phaco surgery is a modern technique used to treat cataracts, which are cloudy patches that develop on the eye's lens. If cataracts are affecting daily activities, an eye specialist may recommend this surgery. During phaco cataract surgery, small incisions are made to allow an ultrasound device to break up the cloudy lens. The fragments are then removed, and an intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted in its place. This procedure is carried out by a skilled eye surgeon, typically in a hospital or clinic, and does not require an overnight stay. Phacoemulsification with IOL is minimally invasive and typically takes less than an hour. Most people find it to be safe and effective, with many returning to their usual routines shortly after the surgery

Phaco Surgery for Cataract Treatment

Treatments Available

Pristyn Care in Janakpuri offers advanced phaco eye surgery for cataracts, combining expertise with technology to restore clear vision effectively.

Phaco Cataract Surgery

Phaco cataract surgery, or phacoemulsification, is a popular type of cataract surgery. In this procedure, the doctor makes a small incision in the eye. Through this incision, they use ultrasound waves to break up the cloudy lens causing vision problems. These lens fragments are then gently suctioned out. Once the cloudy lens is removed, it is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This new IOL helps improve vision significantly. The surgery is minimally invasive, meaning it’s done with small cuts and usually has a quick recovery time. Most people can get back to their normal routine in just a few days. It’s a highly successful procedure that can really enhance your quality of life.

Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery

In laser-assisted cataract surgery, traditional phacoemulsification is paired with a special laser for better precision. The surgeon uses a femtosecond laser to make precise incisions and soften the cataract before removing it using ultrasound and suction. This adds accuracy and often results in quicker healing and better outcomes. The precision of the laser helps in tailoring the surgery to each person’s unique eye structure, potentially leading to sharper vision post-surgery. While generally more expensive than traditional methods, many patients find the benefits worth the cost due to faster recovery and improved precision.

Robotic Cataract Surgery

Robotic cataract surgery is one of the latest advancements in eye surgeries. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic systems to assist the surgeon during the procedure. This technology helps in making precise incisions and placing the artificial lens perfectly. The robotic system reduces human error, leading to excellent surgical outcomes and improving patient safety. The technology involved requires substantial investment but offers exceptional precision and consistency in results. It’s an exciting option for those looking for state-of-the-art care with minimal risk and maximum accuracy.

Eligibility For Phaco Surgery

If you’re considering phaco eye surgery in Janakpuri for cataract treatment, it’s important to know if you are eligible for the procedure. Several factors determine your suitability:

  • Visual Impairment: The primary reason for phaco cataract surgery is significant visual impairment due to cataracts. If your vision is blurry and it affects your daily activities like reading or driving, this surgery might be necessary.
  • Overall Eye Health: Your eyes should be generally healthy. Conditions like severe glaucoma or macular degeneration could complicate the surgery unless cataract removal is essential for managing these conditions.
  • Absence of Other Eye Diseases: It’s crucial that you do not have other eye diseases that could interfere with the surgery. This ensures a smooth procedure and recovery.
  • Realistic Expectations: You should have a clear understanding of what the surgery entails, including potential benefits and risks. Discuss these with your doctor to set realistic expectations.

Initial Examinations

Before proceeding with phacoemulsification with IOL (intraocular lens), doctors conduct thorough eye examinations. These include:

  • Visual Acuity Tests: To assess how much your vision has been affected by cataracts.
  • Slit-Lamp Examination: Offers a detailed view of the eye’s interior structures.
  • A-scan or Ultrasound Biomicroscopy: These tests evaluate the cataract’s severity and overall eye health.

How is Phaco Surgery Performed?

Phaco surgery is a modern technique used to remove cataracts with minimal invasion. Here’s how it works:

  • Anaesthesia: The procedure begins with local anaesthesia to numb the eye, ensuring that you are comfortable and pain-free throughout.
  • Incision: A tiny incision is made in the cornea to insert a special probe.
  • Emulsification: This probe uses ultrasonic sound waves to break the cloudy lens into tiny fragments.
  • Aspiration: These fragments are then gently suctioned out using a vacuum pump.
  • Lens Implantation: An intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted to replace the removed lens, restoring clear vision.
  • Closure: The incision may close on its own or may require a few stitches.

How to Prepare for Phaco Surgery?

Preparing well for your phaco surgery can ensure a smoother experience:

  • Pre-operative Tests: Complete any recommended eye exams to confirm the need for surgery.
  • Medication Adjustments: Follow your doctor’s advice regarding medications, especially if you’re taking blood thinners.
  • Preparation on the Day of Surgery: Arrive early at the hospital, and avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before surgery.
  • Arrange Transportation: Ensure someone can drive you home after the procedure, as your vision might be temporarily affected.
  • Discuss Concerns: Share any questions or allergies with your doctor before surgery day.

Post-Procedure Care 

After undergoing phaco surgery, here’s what you should expect and do for recovery:

  • Rest: Give yourself time to heal by avoiding strenuous activities for a few days after surgery.
  • Protective Eye Shield: Use an eye shield at night to safeguard your eye while sleeping. This helps prevent accidental touching or rubbing.
  • Medication: Adhere strictly to prescribed medication regimens. They help prevent infection and reduce inflammation, promoting faster healing.
  • Avoid Irritants: Stay clear of environments with dust, wind, or chemicals that could irritate your healing eyes.
  • Follow-up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-ups with your doctor to ensure proper healing and address any concerns promptly.
  • Vision Recovery: Your vision should gradually improve over several weeks. Be patient as your eyes adjust and heal fully.
