Ophthalmology is the field of medical science that has evolved so rapidly. We have seen the era of transformation of cataract surgery over the last decades from intracapsular cataract extraction with aphakic spectacles to phacoemulsification with implantation of different types of intraocular lenses.
Phaco emulsification done with good surgical expertise fulfils patient demand of good visual outcome and faster visual recovery at an affordable cost. It is definitely a safe and painless procedure but requires a lot of skill to be mastered in this surgery. Our team at Visitech eye centre New Delhi is fully equipped with latest phacoemulsification machines and expert surgeons.
