What is this Phacoemulsification technique?
Surgery for the correction of presbyopia is performed without hospitalisation and under topical anesthesia (drops), being an absolutely painless intervention. The functional recovery times are very fast and usually in a matter of hours the patient regains his vision.
The surgical technique for the correction of the cataract that is in very advanced processes is phacoemulsification. A minimally invasive technique in which the lens dissolves, disintegrates or undoes by ultrasound emitting. Once they have been dissolved, they are subsequently aspirated through small incisions.
When the lens has been removed, a diffracting multifocal intro-ocular lens of a biocompatible material is implanted. Which allows for a clear vision, both at a distant and close range, achieving great independence from the use of glasses. In Miranza Clínica Muiños, cataract surgery is performed by phacoemulsification, and by very skilled surgeons who have performed thousands of successful interventions.
