Phacoemulsification cataract surgery is a state-of-the-art procedure that uses an ultrasonic device to break up and remove cataracts from the eye, ultimately improving vision. After the cataract is removed, an intraocular lens (IOL) is typically inserted right away to correct any refractive errors in the eye.
One of the key advantages of this technique is that it eliminates the need for an anesthetic injection behind the eye and avoids the use of sutures. The surgery is performed through micro-incisions that are designed to be self-sealing, which means no stitches are required.
Patients can enjoy several benefits from this approach, including enhanced safety, shorter surgery times, reduced stress and discomfort, a lower risk of complications, and a higher success rate. Overall, phacoemulsification cataract surgery offers a modern and effective solution for restoring vision!
This lens can correct for the impairment caused by the cataract
With a toric IOL, patients will have the added benefit of vision improvement to correct astigmatism.
Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) enhance distance vision and improve focus at near or intermediate distances. For many patients, they can nearly eliminate the need for glasses. However, some may still prefer glasses for very fine details up close, like reading small print. Overall, multifocal IOLs provide a great option for clearer vision at multiple distances!
A multifocal toric lens provides all the same benefits of a multifocal lens, but also corrects for astigmatism.
The pseudo accommodative lens is designed to mimic the actions of a natural lens.Pseudo accommodative IOLs can reduce or even eliminate a dependence on corrective glasses.
