Phacoemulsification (MICS) in Jaipur

Phacoemulsification (commonly known as Phaco cataract surgery) is the globally accepted standard of care for modern cataract removal. Using advanced high-frequency ultrasonic energy, the cloudy cataract lens is gently emulsified (liquefied) and aspirated through a self-sealing micro-incision measuring less than 2.2 millimeters.

As Chief Cataract Surgeon at Santokba Durlabhji Memorial Hospital (SDMH), Dr. Nitesh Bansal specializes in Topical MICS—performing the entire procedure under numbing eye drops without painful injections, stitches, or black eye bandages, allowing patients to resume their routine activities within 24 to 48 hours.

Key Advantages of Needle-Free MICS Phaco

  • No Injections (Topical Anesthesia): The eye is completely numbed using anesthetic eye drops. There is no painful needle injection behind the eye, eliminating black eyes or anesthesia-related bruising.
  • No Stitches / Sutureless: The sub-2.2mm micro-incision is self-sealing and heals naturally by intraocular pressure balance, preventing suture irritation or foreign-body sensation.
  • No Eye Bandages: Patients walk out of the operation theater wearing clear protective glasses rather than bulky cotton eye patches.
  • Foldable IOL Implantation: Through the same tiny incision, a premium foldable Monofocal, Toric, or Multifocal Intraocular Lens is inserted into the natural capsular bag.
  • Safe for Cardiac & Diabetic Patients: Because there are no injections or systemic anesthesia, cardiac patients on blood thinners (like aspirin/clopidogrel) or hypertension medications do not need to pause their critical prescriptions.

Step-by-Step Surgical Workflow

1. Topical Numbing: Drops are administered; the patient feels zero pain throughout.
2. Micro-Incision & Capsulorhexis: A continuous circular opening is created in the lens capsule.
3. Ultrasonic Emulsification: The phaco tip breaks the cloudy nucleus into micro-fragments and aspirates them gently.
4. IOL Insertion: The customized foldable lens unfolds automatically into the exact anatomical position.
The entire procedure typically takes just 10 to 15 minutes in a daycare setting.

Medical Disclaimer: Phacoemulsification is an elective surgical procedure recommended when cataract interferes with daily visual activities. A comprehensive slit lamp examination and optical biometry are required to assess surgical candidacy and choose the appropriate IOL.
