Phacoemulsification, commonly known as Phaco, is a modern, minimally invasive cataract surgery technique where an ultrasonic device is used to break up and remove the cloudy natural lens from the eye. Once the cataract is removed, a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted to restore vision. Phaco surgery is quick, usually takes less than 20 minutes, and offers faster recovery, minimal discomfort, and no need for stitches in most cases. At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital and Research Centre, we use advanced phacoemulsification technology to ensure precise, safe, and effective cataract removal, helping patients regain clear vision with minimal downtime.
