A cataract, as you know, is the whitening of the natural lens of the eye. This lens is responsible for seeing far and near in our younger days. In cataract surgery, cataract surgeons remove the natural lens from the eye and replace it with an artificial lens. There are a few ways one can remove the lens from the eye. Please read on to know more. There are many artificial lens options that your cataract surgeons can use for you. Please read the article on the best cataract lens to understand more.
The most common (Motibindu operation) cataract surgery technique in Mumbai is 'Phacoemulsification' or 'Phaco surgery.' Here, an instrument enters the eye through a small incision in the peripheral cornea. This instrument, known as the 'Phaco Probe,' liquefies the hard cataract inside the eye. Your cataract surgeon then sucks out this material. After this lens removal, the only part that remains is the capsule. The capsule is the natural, outermost lens covering, like a bag filled with stuff. We now have an empty bag since your eye surgeon has removed all the lens material. Ophthalmologists call this space that's left behind the 'bag.'
The next step is inserting the lens inside the eye. Most lenses are foldable lenses. These foldable lenses can fold on themselves to go inside the eye through a small incision. Once inside the eye, this lens unfolds and opens up inside the 'bag.'
Finally, your eye surgeon removes the jelly from your eye.
