Discover the types of cataract treatment offered at clinics in India:

• Phacoemulsification (phaco surgery): This technique involves creating a small incision in the cornea, the transparent front surface of the eye. During phacoemulsification, the lens is fragmented and softened using ultrasonic energy. The fragmented lens is then safely removed through gentle suction. Phacoemulsification, commonly referred to as "small incision cataract surgery," is the prevailing and widely practiced method for cataract treatment today.
• Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS): FLACS utilizes a femtosecond laser to perform key steps of the cataract surgery. The laser creates precise incisions, breaks up the lens, and assists in the capsule opening. This technology enhances the accuracy and precision of the procedure. FLACS offers potential advantages such as reduced energy requirements, improved surgical outcomes, and enhanced safety.
• Extracapsular surgery: The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis, utilizing local anesthesia and sometimes mild intravenous sedation. During surgery, you won't be able to perceive the tools or experience discomfort. Stitches are usually not required due to the small incision used for cataract removal.
