Phacoemulsification is a modern cataract surgery technique that uses ultrasonic waves to break the lens into tiny pieces, which are then suctioned out of the eye. This minimally invasive procedure involves a small incision of 2-3 mm, resulting in faster recovery and fewer complications compared to traditional cataract surgery methods.
Many patients experience better vision within the first 24 hours after phacoemulsification surgery. Recovery time is generally minimal, with most people able to return to work or their normal routine within 1 to 3 days.
