Cataract surgery is a common surgical procedure used to remove the cloudy lens of the eye that causes vision problems. There are different techniques for cataract surgery, but one of the most commonly used methods is phacoemulsification, which involves using ultrasound energy to break up the cataract, which is then sucked out of the eye.
One of the advantages of phacoemulsification is that it can be performed with a sutureless technique, which means that no stitches are needed to close the incision. This can lead to faster healing and a reduced risk of complications.
