Cataract Removal (Phacoemulsification Method)

Thumbnail image for "Cataract Removal (Phacoemulsification Method)"

This surgery is used to remove a cataract. During the procedure, the cloudy lens in your eye is replaced with an artificial lens that will let you see clearly. This procedure is sometimes called "no-needle, no-stitch" cataract surgery. It's quick, painless, and you can go home the same day.
