Among them, cataract is one of the leading causes of blindness. Phaco surgery which replaces the vitreous is currently the most effective method of treating cataract patients.
1. What is Phaco surgery and its outstanding advantages?
Phaco surgery (known as Phacoemulsification) is also named as Phaco eye surgery technology or Phaco cataract surgery. This method works by using sound wave energy to crush and suck the vitreous out through a very small incision, then the doctor will replace it with the artificial lens.
Phaco surgery is the most effective treatment for cataracts today.
For a normal person from the age of 40, the vitreous shows a sign of sclerosis and cloudiness over time and causes the patient’s vision to gradually weaken, called for the physiological cataract. The most noticeable symptoms in cataract patients are blurred, not clear vision, eyes are sensitive to light, and difficult to see at night.
Besides, the vitreous can also be cloudy because of congenital or eye diseases and systemic diseases such as: glaucoma, uveitis, trauma, use of drugs (corticoid, chlorpromazine…).
Currently, Phaco surgery which helps to regain sharp eyes like the youth for people with cataracts has many outstanding advantages:

2. How to treat cataract with Phaco surgery
Before the surgery, the patient will be assigned an eye examination and necessary tests by the doctor. When you have enough condition, the patient is assigned to perform Phaco surgery following the below steps:
– Anesthetize and disinfect the surgical eye.
– Make a small incision with the length of 2.2 mm inside the anterior chamber.
– Pumps the mucus to protect endothelial cells and other organs.
– Tear off the capsule in front of the vitreous, use an ultrasound probe to crush the cloudy lens. Make a small incision in the cornea and insert a thin needle probe into the lens, then use ultrasound to break the cloudy lens and suck it out through the probe.
– Place a piece of the vitreous in this pouch. After stabilizing in the capsule, the artificial lens will slowly soften and return to its normally clear vitreous shape.
