Phaco Development Program

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.
The team leader” Dr RP SINGH” is an alumni of prestigious institute of the country, Dr R P Centre of Ophthalmic Sciences, AIIMS, New Delhi.
He is practicing in ophthalmic sciences for last 22 years and has an experience of more than 60,000 cataract surgeries and various other complex surgeries.
