Phaco Cataract Surgery in Navi Mumbai

What is Phacoemulsification?

Phaco cataract surgery, also called phacoemulsification, is a modern small-incision cataract surgery technique. The cloudy natural lens is broken into tiny fragments using ultrasound energy, removed from the eye and replaced with a clear intraocular lens.
