How to choose cataract surgery

Phacoemulsification is

the most common surgical procedure. It uses ultrasonic energy to break up the cataract, extract it, and implant the intraocular lens. The advantages of this procedure are small incision, quick recovery, and good postoperative vision. However, for some special cataracts, such as overmature cataracts or hard cataract, small incision non-phacoemulsification may be selected. Although the incision is slightly larger, this surgical method has a better effect on dealing with complex cataracts.

When selecting the surgical method, the doctor will comprehensively consider factors such as the type of cataract, severity, corneal condition and eye axis length of the patient to determine the appropriate surgical method for the patient. Therefore, the patient should choose under the guidance of a professional doctor.
