Hi-Tech Phaco Cataract Surgery

Restore your vision with advanced phacoemulsification cataract surgery, a modern, safe, and minimally invasive procedure available at Wellbeing Eye Centre.

What is Phaco Cataract Surgery?

Phacoemulsification is an advanced cataract removal technique where ultrasonic energy is used to gently break up the cloudy lens (cataract). The lens is then removed and replaced with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL), restoring normal vision.

Procedure Time & Recovery

  • Surgery Duration: 15–30 minutes per eye
  • Centre Stay: Same-day discharge (no overnight admission)
  • Recovery Time: Most patients notice improved vision within 24–48 hours
  • Full Healing: Typically within a few weeks

This quick procedure allows you to return to normal daily activities much faster compared to traditional surgery.

 

How the Procedure Works ?

  1. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the eye (no pain during surgery)
  2. A very small incision is made in the eye
  3. Ultrasonic waves break the cloudy lens into tiny fragments
  4. The fragments are gently removed
  5. A foldable artificial lens (IOL) is inserted
  6. The incision heals naturally without stitches in most cases
