What surgical techniques are available at Saluja Eye Care Center to remove the Cataract?

We offer various advanced, cutting edge surgical techniques to treat cataract. Based on the type of cataract you have, your health condition and your lifestyle, the Ophthalmologist will recommend the best suitable option for you. The three commonly used surgical techniques are:-

Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS):

This is also a new technique where the cataract is removed manually through a slightly larger incision. This technique is used if your cataract is excessively hard, making phacoemulsification difficult.

Phacoemulsification:

1. In this method a tiny instrument is inserted through a very small incision (approximately 2.2 to 2.8 mm wide).
2. Ultrasound vibrations break the cataract into tiny pieces.
3. These pieces are gently suctioned out.
4. Usually no stitches are required to close the incision.

Micro Incision Cataract Surgery:

1. In this method a tiny instrument is inserted through a very small incision (approximately 2.2 mm or less).
2. Ultrasound vibrations break the cataract into tiny pieces.
3. These pieces are gently suctioned out.
4. Usually no stitches are required to close the incision.
5. This minimally invasive surgery allows faster and safer healing, and you can return to your normal activities in no time.
6. Chances of Post Surgery Infection and Astigmatism is Very Less as compared with above mentioned techniques.
