TOP BENEFITS OF PHACO SURGERY

 Phaco-emulsification or phacoemulsification or Phaco machine is one of the essential medical equipment services for eye treatment. This machine is used to break up the lenses into small pieces. Then, this machine removes eye lenses with cataracts: cloudy patches that develop in the lens. The device uses a titanium needle that vibrates more than forty thousand times per second in this operation. This needle carries a 2.5 to 2.8 mm incision to break up the lenses.


History Of Lens Cataract Surgery


Before this Phaco technology, a wide range of surgeries were used to remove cataracts. Here are they:


  • Couching: This method was used in the 5th century BC. The doctor used a sharp needle to pierce the eye near the limbus in this operation until the provider could manually dislodge the cataract. It was a painful and dangerous treatment, and sometimes it could cause blindness.


  • Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE): Early as 600 BC, an Indian surgeon named Sushruta discovered a method of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) - meaning the lens is removed and the lens capsule is left in place. In this method, the doctor used a sharp needle to puncture the eye through the aqueous humor until reaching the lens capsule, where the surgeon would make an incision.


  • Intracapsular Cataract Extraction: In 1753 a London surgeon named Samuel Sharp performed the intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE). This procedure involves the removal of the opacified lens and the surrounding capsule in one piece. 




  • Intraocular Lenses: In 1949, Dr. Ridley was credited with performing the first IOL operation at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London. In this procedure, the doctor would remove cataracts and implement foldable IOL made of silicone to improve the vision.
