The common surgical procedures are:

Intracapsular Cataract Extraction

In this process, both the lens as well as the lens capsule gets removed. This process is much older and only performed in very rare instances. Once the lens gets removed, it is to be replaced with any one of these ways:

• During cataract surgery, an artificial lens is placed in the eye.

• A contact lens.

• Special cataract glasses with very powerful magnification.

What are the latest surgical techniques for cataract treatment?

Latest technologies are used for the treatment of cataract in Delhi by Cataract Surgeon :-

• Microincision or Regular Phaco Cataract Surgery

In traditional microincision and phacoemulsification cataract surgery, capsulotomy is done manually by making use of a bent needle. This opening allows the ultrasound waves to coalesce the natural lens of the eye before it is taken out of the eye with the help of a vacuum. When it is manually performed, this capsulotomy tends to go to one side, results in the capsular bag tear. This implies that the Intraocular lens which gets implanted might not as stable as it needs to be.

• Robotic or Femtosecond Cataract Surgery

To eliminate the error caused through microincision surgery, this Femtosecond laser cataract surgery was developed. It makes use of laser beam for creating the capsulotomy and further reducing the likelihood of human error and any other complications. Though it requires a little more time you will get an excellent visual. It is at 100 pct. This surgery is known for being painless and stitch-less. This surgery cannot be done on patients with small pupils.
