Surgical Technique

The surgeon removes all cloudy lens matter with the exception of the transparent shell or posterior capsule. The surgery is performed by phaco-emulsification which allows a very small self sealing wound to be utilised. This small wound hastens visual recovery. The posterior chamber intra-ocular lens (implant) sits within the capsule.

Although no operation will make aged eyes young again, over ninety-five percent of patients achieve a substantial improvement in vision.
