What are the stages of cataract surgery?

Good evening everyone, so here we are today we are talking about cataracts So this is a very very like brief explanation about the steps of the surgery, a very small incision is made then the tools are introduced inside of the eye and then the cataract is taken out and Plastic implant is put in which is the IOL It's an abbreviation for intraocular lens So that lens is implanted inside of the eye and then a suture may be made but most of the time we don't really need to take any sutures so it's a sutureless surgery through a very very small incision. It uses a machine that's called a phacoemulsifier machine. In brief it means that the machine uses ultrasound waves, ultrasonic powers to fragment the big chunks of the catheter into very small pieces and these can be extracted through the very small ones. This is a real-time view of the cataract probe, we can see how tiny it is compared to the eye and that's the probe from the side and that's the actual probe inside of the eye so it's very very tiny and how it works it works that the surgeon will divide this whole cataract into very small pieces that can be aspirated through this vacuum in this lovely surgical tool. The second part of the cataract surgery involves putting in the implant so that the patient can restore their vision and can have a good vision for their daily activities after the surgery and that's an actual size of one of the implants we use during the surgery. It's very tiny but on the microscope it looks quite respectful and then we put it inside of the eye in a special manner in a special position so the vision can actually recover and that's a picture after the catheter has been removed and the implant sitting in very nicely at the back of the anterior part of the eye in what's called a capsular bag that implant is stable that lens stays in for life until unless a problem happens with that lens that lens is not exchangeable and most of the time people do not really need to exchange the lens or worry about it. The lens just sits in very nicely and quietly. Patients would go home like that after the surgery so just an eye shield and a tape around the eye shield and it's a daytime procedure so patients do not have to sleep overnight in the hospital for that. It's just a quick visit, surgery is done, they can safely and simply go home after.
