How Is Cataract Surgery Performed with the Phaco Method? Phaco cataract surgery is generally performed under local anesthesia using drops. This ensures that the patient feels no pain during the procedure, and general anesthesia is not required. The basic stages of the surgery are as follows: Preparation:The eye is numbed with anesthetic drops, and sterile conditions are ensured. Micro-incision:A very small incision of about 2-3 mm is made in the eye. Cataract lens fragmentation:The hardened and cloudy lens is broken into small pieces and removed from the eye using ultrasonic waves. Intraocular lens placement:A permanent artificial intraocular lens is placed in the cleaned area. Completion of the procedure:The incision closes on its own without the need for stitches, and the surgery is completed. The entire procedure takes an average of 15-20 minutes, and patients are discharged on the same day. Advantages of the Phaco Method The phaco technique offers many important advantages in cataract surgery: It is a stitch-free surgery The operation time is very short The recovery process is quick Does not require general anesthesia The small incision reduces the risk of complications Post-surgery pain and discomfort are minimal Thanks to these features, patients can return to their daily lives in a short time. Recovery Process After Cataract Surgery After cataract surgery with the phaco method, recovery typically begins within a few days. Most patients can return to normal life the day after the surgery. Full healing and clarity of vision are usually completed within 2-4 weeks. During this time, it is very important to protect the eye, use the prescribed eye drops regularly, and attend follow-up appointments with the doctor. When Should Cataract Surgery Be Done? Cataract surgery is considered when the cataract begins to significantly affect vision quality. Complaints such as blurred vision, light sensitivity, and impaired night vision increase, and surgical treatment is recommended. Surgery is generally considered appropriate when vision loss reaches 50-60%. Delaying the surgery unnecessarily can negatively impact quality of life. Are There Risks Associated with Cataract Surgery? Cataract surgery is a very safe procedure today. However, as with any surgical intervention, there are some rare risks: Infection Temporary increase in eye pressure Problems related to the retina Displacement of the intraocular lens When performed by an experienced ophthalmic surgeon, these risks are minimized. What Are the Symptoms of Cataracts? Cataracts usually progress slowly and gradually affect vision. The most common symptoms are: Blurry and foggy vision Sensitivity to light and glare Weakening of night vision Perception of colors as pale and pastel shades Frequent changes in glasses prescription Difficulty watching television or driving Seeing straight lines as curved Better near vision without glasses Be Cautious If You See Colors in Pastel Shades Cataracts usually develop after the age of 55-60, and the first sign is often a decrease in the vividness of colors.
