Cataract is a clouding of the natural crystalline lens of the eye that commonly occurs as part of the aging process. In traditional cataract surgeries, a deep injection around the eyeball was required to freeze the eye, and an eye patch was worn for days.
The Topical Phaco Advantage
At Mangulkar Eye Hospital, Topical Phaco uses numbing drops rather than needle injections. With high-precision ultrasound phacoemulsification, the cloudy lens is liquefied and removed through an opening smaller than 2.2 millimeters.
Benefits for Patients
- No eye injections or black eyes
- No painful needle anxiety
- Immediate vision restoration
- Suitable for patients on blood thinners or cardiac medications
