Phaco-emulsification cataract surgery (PECS)
It is a modern cataract surgery in which the eye’s internal lens is emulsified with an ultrasonic instrument and extracted from the eye.
- Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are medical devices that are implanted inside the eye to replace the eye’s natural lens after its removal during cataract surgery. Choosing the right implant for cataract surgery is a tough task. Options are available to meet the requirements, talk to our ophthalmologists for guidance on the best IOL suited for your lifestyle.
- Monofocal: This type of lens has a single focus strength for distance vision. Reading will generally require the use of reading glasses. Accommodating-focus lenses only have a single focusing strength, respond to eye muscle movements and shift focus on to near or distant objects.
- Multifocal: Different areas of the lens have different focusing strengths, allowing for near, medium and far vision.
- These lenses are like glasses with bifocal or progressive lenses. Discuss the benefits and risks of the different types of IOLs with your eye surgeon to determine what’s best for you.
