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.

A detailed consultation with Dr. Niket Gandhi helps determine the best surgical approach.
Phacoemulsification is a modern cataract surgery technique that uses ultrasonic energy to break and remove the cloudy lens through a small incision, followed by implantation of an intraocular lens.
Yes. It is a safe and widely performed procedure with high success rates when done by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Niket Gandhi using advanced technology.
No. The procedure is painless as it is performed under local anesthesia. Mild discomfort may occur temporarily after surgery.
Most patients experience improved vision within a few days, with complete recovery over the following weeks.
Spectacle dependence depends on the type of intraocular lens chosen. Dr. Niket Gandhi discusses lens options during pre-surgical planning to match your visual needs.
Light activities can be resumed within a day or two. Dr. Gandhi will advise when to return to work, driving, and other activities.
