Phacoemulsification / MICS Cataract Surgery by Dr. Niket Gandhi

Phacoemulsification, also known as Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS), is an advanced and highly effective technique used to remove cataracts through a very small incision. Dr. Niket Gandhi, an experienced Ophthalmologist and Cataract Specialist, performs phacoemulsification surgery with precision, safety, and a strong focus on patient comfort and visual outcomes.

This modern cataract surgery method uses ultrasonic energy to gently break the cloudy lens, which is then removed and replaced with a high-quality intraocular lens (IOL). The smaller incision allows for faster healing, minimal discomfort, and quicker visual recovery compared to traditional cataract surgery.

This technique involves the use of ultrasonic energy to gently break the cloudy natural lens into tiny fragments, which are then removed through a very small incision. A high-quality intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted in place of the natural lens, helping patients regain sharp and stable vision. The small incision size allows for faster healing, reduced discomfort, and minimal surgical trauma.

Dr. Niket Gandhi, a highly experienced Ophthalmologist and Cataract Specialist, offers phacoemulsification surgery using modern microsurgical technology to restore clear vision with maximum safety and precision.
