It is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2667376221000081#:~:text=Cataract%20surgery%20is%20the%20most%20common%20ophthalmic%20surgery%20performed%20worldwide.&amp;text=More%20than%2026%20million%20cataract%20surgeries%20are%20performed%20annually.,compound%20annual%20rate%20of%203.1%25.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">most common eye surgery<\/a> performed globally, with annual statistics as high as 26 million. Success rate is quite high with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK559253\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">95%<\/a> of patients reporting improved vision.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the many causes of cataracts, the predominant one is advancing age. However, genetics, medical conditions like eye injury, diabetes, or extended UV-exposure can also result in cataracts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If not treated in time, cataracts can lead to impaired vision, making simple daily activities, such as recognising faces, reading, and driving, hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure, which means you do not require hospitalisation, and can return home the same day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Cataract_Surgery\"><\/span>Types of Cataract Surgery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, we have so many advances and options that were simply unimaginable a few decades ago. Each surgical approach uses different techniques to remove the cloudy natural lens and implant an IOL. Also, each procedure has different recovery times and benefits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The selection of a particular procedure depends on several factors, such as the severity of the cataract, your overall eye health, and your eye specialist\u2019s recommendation. Before jumping into the 3 types of advanced cataract surgery, we need to understand the foundation upon which these innovations are built: <strong>Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery<\/strong>, commonly known as <strong>phaco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phacoemulsification_Cataract_Surgery\"><\/span><strong>Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also known as small-incision cataract surgery or just phaco. A small incision is made in the cornea. Through this incision, your ophthalmologist inserts an ultrasonic probe. The ultrasound waves break up (emulsify) the cataract into tiny pieces. These fragments are then removed by suction. After cataract removal, an artificial lens (IOL) is implanted in your eye to restore vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Minimally invasive nature<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fast recovery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower risk of complications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved vision in 24-48 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resume normal routine within a week<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MICS_Micro_Incision_Cataract_Surgery\"><\/span>MICS (Micro Incision Cataract Surgery)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An advanced phaco technique for cataract removal, MICS uses very small cuts (typically 1.8 mm \u2013 2.2 mm) in the eye to remove the cataract and replace it with an artificial lens. Since the cuts are tiny, there is less need for stitches, and recovery is faster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Less invasive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimal discomfort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear vision in 24 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mostly stitchless<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speedy recovery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved visual quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less tissue trauma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower risk of refractive errors, e.g. astigmatism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Negligible complication risk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FLACS_Femtosecond_Laser-Assisted_Cataract_Surgery\"><\/span>FLACS (Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also referred to as Femto Cataract Surgery, it utilises a femtosecond laser, a laser type that releases very short pulses of light &#8211; for performing some or all of the main steps to remove cataract and implant an artificial lens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While traditional cataract surgery uses handheld instruments, FLACS has automated things &#8211; whether it is incisions in the cornea or fragmentation of the cloudy lens. With this, it ensures unmatched precision and consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No blade, no stitches, no pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highly safe and precise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimal eye trauma\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quick cataract surgery recovery time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>See clearly in 24 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customised treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better positioning of lens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhanced long-term visual outcomes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Negligible astigmatism risk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Particularly beneficial in cases with astigmatism and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2162098923000403#:~:text=Femtosecond%20laser%20can%20provide%20precise,FLACS%20in%20these%20challenging%20cases.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">challenging situations<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Robotic_AI_Cataract_Surgery\"><\/span>Robotic AI Cataract Surgery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A next-gen cataract surgery, it uses the Callisto imaging system along with Femto Laser to take precision and safety to the peak levels.
