- A cataract is when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision, glare, difficulty seeing in low light, etc.
- Phacoemulsification is a modern technique to remove cataracts. In this procedure, a very small incision is made in the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye). An ultrasonic (or other energy-based) probe is used to break up (“emulsify”) the cloudy lens. The lens fragments are then gently suctioned out.
- After removal of the cloudy lens, an artificial lens (Intraocular Lens or IOL) is implanted. The IOL restores clarity by focusing light properly on the retina.
- A thorough eye examination: vision tests, measurements of the eye to calculate the correct power of the IOL.
- Assessments to check whether there are other eye problems (e.g. retinal disease, glaucoma) or systemic health issues (diabetes, etc.) that could affect surgery or recovery.
- Various types of IOLs are available: standard (monofocal), premium ones (multifocal, toric for astigmatism, accommodating, etc.). The selection depends on vision goals (distance/near/intermediate) and eye condition.
- Usually a day-care (outpatient) procedure.
- Under local anaesthesia (often topical drops) so that you don’t feel pain during surgery.
- Tiny incision in the cornea; phacoemulsification probe emulsifies the lens, removes fragments. Then foldable IOL is inserted through the small incision. Because of the small incision and modern techniques, many surgeries are sutureless (no stitches) and have quicker healing
- The actual surgery typically takes a short time (10-20 minutes in many cases depending on cataract hardness and complexity). Motewar’s description says “around 10 minutes” for many cases.
- Rapid visual recovery: because the incision is small and healing is faster; many patients see clearly quite soon.
- Less discomfort and risk: no big cuts, often no sutures, less inflammation, fewer complications.
- Premium IOLs can reduce the dependence on glasses for many tasks.
- The clinic uses modern equipment and experienced staff. Dr. Vivek Motewar has specialized training in phaco and has done many surgeries.
- After surgery, patients are usually able to return home the same day. Some rest period is necessary.
- Eye drops: there will be medicated eye drops prescribed (for preventing infection, inflammation, etc.), for a few weeks. It’s important to follow this regimen strictly.
- Vision improvement: many people notice improvement in vision within a day or two; full stabilization might take a few weeks.
- Follow-up appointments: to monitor healing, check for complications. If needed, a minor laser procedure (YAG posterior capsulotomy) may be done later if the lens capsule becomes cloudy (posterior capsule opacification).
- Precautions: Avoid rubbing the eye, do not expose to dust or water (especially in first few days), avoid strenuous activity for a short period, protect from bright light/sun if advised.
- While phacoemulsification is very safe, like all surgery it carries some risks: infection, inflammation, posterior capsule opacification, glare/halos (especially with premium IOLs), residual refractive error (meaning you may still need glasses for some tasks).
- Very dense or mature cataracts may be more difficult to remove, requiring more ultrasound energy or alternate approaches.
- Underlying eye conditions (glaucoma, retina disease, etc.) may limit the outcome of vision even if surgery is successful.
- The combination of experienced surgeon, advanced surgical facilities, premium lens options, and patient-friendly care make it a strong choice in the region.
- Their commitment to using latest technology and comprehensive evaluation helps in achieving good outcomes.
- Location in Nanded with in-house optical and medical shop makes it convenient for patients.
Phacoemulsification (Phaco Surgery) is a modern cataract removal technique that uses ultrasound waves to break and remove the cloudy lens, replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
No, it is usually painless as it is performed under local anesthesia with numbing eye drops.
The procedure typically takes about 15–20 minutes.
Most patients notice clearer vision within a few days, though full recovery may take a few weeks.
No, Phaco Surgery is usually a day-care procedure, and patients can go home the same day.
