Description

cataract removal by phacoemulsification with insertion of an intraocular lens done under topical anaesthesia with no stitches. Modern no-stitch cataract surgery is done in an outpatient setting. Actual operating time about 15 minutes. We do 95% of our cases under topical anesthesia - this means that we do not use any injections or general anesthesia, and we do not use any stitches. There is no discomfort during the procedure. Patients usually go home without any eye patches and resume normal activity the next day. In a procedure, called Phacoemulsification, we use an ultrasound device that enables us to remove the cataract through a very small incision. We replace the cloudy lens with a man made intraocular lens (called an implant). To restore good vision, the new lens functions like the natural lens of your eye to again focus light rays onto the retina. We are proud that our office has been listed multiple times in PHILADELPHIA MAGAZINE as TOP DOCS, as one of the outstanding centers for eye care and cataract surgery in Philadelphia.
