Cataract Services
Lens in the eye focuses light on the retina. Opacities of the lens are called
cataract. They may be present at birth or occur due to injury but the most
common variety is related to age (Senile Cataract). This is the most common
cause of visual disability in the aged population.
Phacoemulsification and implantation of a foldable Intraocular
Lens: It is a Micro incision technique of cataract surgery where in an
ultrasound probe breaks the cataract into tiny pieces and sucks them out.
If a foldable implant is inserted the incision size is smaller (2.8 -
3.0 mm) as compared to an approximately 5 mm incision to accommodate a
non-foldable lens. Both incisions are self-sealing and need no stitches.
Equipment
-
A-Scan Sonography used to
measure the length of the eyeball and to estimate the power of lens to be implanted.
-
IOL Master, which uses an infrared beam to accurately measure the intraocular
lens power before cataract surgery - Carl Zeiss.
-
Carl Zeiss VISU 200 Operating Microscope
-
Legacy Series 20,000 with most
advanced Neosonic technology Phaco Emulsification machine (Alcon)
-
Nd-Yag Laser for treatment of post cataract surgery membranes.
-
Photo Slit Lamp Microscope used
to examine the eyes with facilities to photograph/videograph of the eye if
needed.
-
