The procedure Phacoemulsification (small incision surgery) is a surgical method used to remove the natural lens through a small tunnel incision.
At Centre for Sight we use the latest Stellaris Vision Enhancement System (Bausch & Lomb) to reduce the number of incisions to only 1.8mms one compared to 3.5mm required in conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery. The result is a more predictable and safer procedure. The contents of the eye remain steady and under full control of the surgeon - plus the recovery period is decreased with reduced inflammation.
An Stellaris ultrasound device is used to break up the centre of the lens; simultaneously the fragments are suctioned from the eye. |
