Cataract Services

Conventional cataract surgery demands a large incision followed by suturing leading to slow visual recovery. The new technique of Phacoemulsification being sutureless brings down the incision size to 2.8mm leading to immediate visual recovery. Use of foldable and multifocal IOL's with aid of micro incision cataract surgery has further improved the visual recovery time, as well as the patients comfort level during the post operative period. The surgery is done under topical anesthesia with no injection and no suture technique.
