Description of Phacoemulsification Surgery:

What is Phacoemulsification Surgery?
Phacoemulsification surgery is a procedure to remove a cataract from the lens in the eye. Cataracts are cloudy parts in the eye’s lens and phacoemulsification uses ultrasound to remove them, as well as to remove the front part of the lens capsule. Often an intraocular lens will be implanted in order to compensate for the removal of the natural lens.

About Phacoemulsification Surgery

Key facts to plan your treatment: how long it takes, your hospital stay, anaesthesia, risks and recovery.

Duration of surgery/treatment
The procedure takes around 20 minutes.
Number of sessions required
Usually only one eye at a time is worked on with Phacoemulsification, so if you need both eyes operated, it will usually require 2 sessions.
Days admitted
None. Phaco surgery takes place on an outpatient basis.
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia with a sedative if needed.
Recovery
Patients should rest for 24 hours following phaco surgery but can return to work the next day.
Risks
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (2006), less than 5 percent of people suffer serious complications following phacoemulsification surgery. Risks include: - Eye infection. - Swelling or fluid in the eye. - Bleeding in the eye. - Retinal detachment. - Glaucoma. - Astigmatism. - Secondary cataract.
After care
- You may wear a bandage for one night following phaco surgery. - At night, wear a protective shield over the eye for a week after the procedure. - You may experience some vision changes for a short time after the procedure. - Use prescribed eye drops for a month following phacoemulsification surgery.
