Surgery Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery continues to be one
of the most common and successful surgical
procedures with
high expectations from patients.
With advances in technology, small
incision surgery has been developed and
rehabilitation times have been reduced. Cataracts can
now be operated on safely under local
anaesthetic in a day care or short stay setting.
The technology used for a cataract operation involves high
frequency ultrasound and is called phaco emulsification.
It allows the lens to be removed through an incision
which is less than 3mm in size and is designed to be self
sealing. Good vision can be achieved within
a few hours of an operation.
A cataract operation involves removing the lens of the
eye and replacing it with an implanted
lens which sits inside the eye supported by the original
lens capsule.
