phacoemulsification

And it is less likely that you will need glasses for distance vision after phacoemulsification surgery.

Phacoemulsification is the most commonly performed cataract procedure in the developed world.

This surgery is increasingly popular in the developing world where access to phacoemulsification is still limited.

Ultrasound may be used for cataract treatment by phacoemulsification.

But the healing process is quicker for phacoemulsification.

Cataract surgery by phacoemulsification is frequently performed under surface anaesthesia.

One of the cataract surgery techniques that Kelman developed, phacoemulsification, has become today's standard.

A plastic sheet with a receptacle helps collect the fluids during phacoemulsification.

Before the phacoemulsification can be performed, one or more incisions are made in the eye to allow the introduction of surgical instruments.

Phacoemulsification surgery involves the use of a machine with microprocessor-controlled fluid dynamics.

For the most part, it has now been replaced by extracapsular cataract surgery and, especially, phacoemulsification.

Phacoemulsification may help prevent intraoperative and postoperative bleeding in patients with the syndrome.

In 1967, the phacoemulsification procedure was introduced.

This effectively divides the cataract into four quadrants that are more easily removed by phacoemulsification.

Charles Kelman introduced phacoemulsification in 1967 after being inspired by his dentist's ultrasonic probe.

The surgical procedure in phacoemulsification for removal of cataract involves a number of steps.

Removing cataracts using phacoemulsification is preferred over standard extracapsular surgery because:

Its safety is reflected in being among the first techniques of phacoemulsification taught to ophthalmology residents and beginner surgeons around the world.

The small incision size used in phacoemulsification (2-3mm) often allows "sutureless" incision closure.

Charles Kelman (Invented phacoemulsification, the technique of modern cataract surgery)

Phacoemulsification - A handheld probe is used to break up and emulsify the lens into liquid using the energy of ultrasound waves.

During phacoemulsification surgery:

Now a technique called phacoemulsification allows a lens to be implanted in a simpler cataract operation performed as an outpatient procedure.

Prior to phacoemulsification, cataract surgery required a 10 to 12 mm incision, which was closed with sutures and caused significant astigmatism.

A pioneer in the field, Dr. Kelman developed the technique of phacoemulsification, which revolutionized cataract surgery.
