Alcon Fako is a method that offers cataract surgery without any difficulties. This method, performed with drop anesthesia, has many advantages.

Phaco (Phacoemulsification) technology is a technology used for the absorption of ultrasonic sound waves by breaking down the lens material and breaking it into small pieces.

In surgery performed with the phaco device, a 2 mm incision is made and a 5-6 mm incision is made in the lens capsule with the help of forceps. Capsule sizes are especially critical in multifocal lens surgery practice.

Cataract surgery procedure

Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure and takes about 10 minutes. Surgery is performed on one eye at a time, and in most cases, the second eye can be planned 3-4 weeks later if medically necessary. The surgeon removes the cloudy lens and replaces it with a permanent intraocular lens implant.

Standard cataract surgery is performed using only topical anesthetics, an advanced procedure called phacoemulsification. The phacoemulsification method involves dissolving and removing the cataract from a small microscopic corneal incision using a precise ultrasonic technique.

After the cataract is removed, a small foldable intraocular lens is placed where the cataract was once located. Since the micro-incision heals itself, no stitches are usually required. The operation ends with the administration of antibiotics into the eye.
