Phacoemulsification is one technique employed by ophthalmologists for performing micro incision cataract surgery. It is done via a single incision in the eye for breaking down the cataract. A foldable Intra-Ocular Lens is then passed through that incision after cataract is removed. It does not require any stitches for covering up incision, so it is called as “Stitch-less Cataract Surgery.”

Cataract surgery using phacoemulsification carries lot of advantages and hence, it is a preferable surgical option:

• Less complications - Surgery through this technique has less complications.
• Minimally invasive - It requires just one single incision and so is a minimally invasive procedure.
• Free of stitches - There are zero stitches involved which means lesser precautions later.
• Duration - It is done in a shorter duration so the patient can carry on his routine activities thereafter.
• Astigmatism - Astigmatism is prevented; thereby granting a sharper vision to the patient.

Some pre-operation tips to be followed by patient are as follows:

• Blood sugar test - Patients need to undergo test for checking blood sugar levels before surgery.
• Medical examinations - Patient has to undergo examinations, such as tonometry, biometry, vision check up, corneal topography etc.
• Diabetic medication - Medication prescribed to diabetics should not be taken on the day of surgery.
• Anticoagulants - If patient is on anticoagulants, then it should be stopped a week prior to surgery.
