Sutureless Cataract Surgery with Dr. Ankita Patil
Cataract surgery is a common and effective procedure to restore clear vision by removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a new, artificial one. Traditional cataract surgery often involves stitches (sutures) to close the incision, but modern techniques now offer a sutureless approach. At Nihira Netralay, we specialize in sutureless cataract surgery in Nerul, Navi Mumbai, providing a more comfortable and quicker recovery experience. Dr. Ankita Patil, an experienced ophthalmologist, leads the way in offering this advanced treatment.
What is Sutureless Cataract Surgery?
Sutureless cataract surgery is a modern, minimally invasive procedure that involves the removal of the clouded lens (cataract) and its replacement with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Unlike traditional methods, this technique does not require stitches (sutures) to close the incision, leading to quicker recovery times and reduced discomfort.
Benefits of Sutureless Cataract Surgery
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure is performed through a small incision, which heals naturally without the need for stitches.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients experience faster recovery and can return to normal activities within a short period.
- Enhanced Vision Quality: With advanced IOLs, patients can achieve improved vision, often reducing or eliminating the need for glasses.
- Reduced Risk of Complications: The sutureless approach minimizes the risk of infection, scarring, and other complications associated with traditional surgery.
- Improved Comfort: The absence of sutures leads to less postoperative discomfort and irritation.
How Does Sutureless Cataract Surgery Work?
Initial Assessment: Dr. Ankita Patil will perform a thorough eye examination to assess the severity of your cataract and determine the best approach for surgery.
Procedure: During the surgery, a tiny incision (usually around 2-3 mm) is made in the cornea. Through this incision, Dr. Patil uses advanced phacoemulsification technology to break up and remove the cloudy lens. The new, artificial lens is then inserted through the same small incision.
Recovery: The small incision typically heals on its own without the need for stitches. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can see improvements in vision soon after the procedure.
