Cataract is the clouding of eye’s natural lens that can lead to vision problems. The most common reason for cataract is aging. The technique for cataract extraction is known as PHACOEMULSIFICATION and there is no LASER SURGERY for cataract removal. A surgical incision is given around the edge of cornea and an ultrasound probe is used to emulsify the cataract which is later followed by suction and irrigation. Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS) utilize very small surgical incision of 1.6-1.8 mm and today, it is becoming a popular technique to remove the cataract. An artificial lens is placed in the capsular bag after cataract is removed. The artificial lens can be a monofocal or multifocal IOL (Intraocular lens). People who want less dependency on spectacles can choose a multifocal lens.
