What are the advantages of phacoemulsification?

There are many surgical treatments for cataract, but the traditional surgical incision is large, which requires 10- 12 mm incision to remove the turbid lens, suture the incision, and be hospitalized. There are many complications during and after operation. Phacoemulsification only needs about 3mm incision, and using phacoemulsification instrument is the best method to treat cataract, which has the following advantages:

(1), small incision, no suture, small postoperative astigmatism, quick recovery and good effect.

(2) It is not easy to tear the posterior capsule during operation, and the incidence of complications such as cystoid macular edema and retinal detachment after operation is low.

(3) Advance the operation time to the immature stage, even the initial stage. As long as the cataract causes the vision to drop below 0.5, which affects daily life and work, surgery can be performed, instead of waiting until the vision drops to only light perception or manual operation, which shortens the painful process that cataract brings to patients who can't see clearly.

(4) You don't need to be hospitalized after operation, but you can go home after operation, which saves the nursing time of patients' families.
