About The Procedure
For phaco surgery, first the front shell of the natural lens is peeled off. Then, the lens is broken into particles and removed from the eye with a phaco device working with ultrasonic wave power, which is inserted into the eye through a 2.2 mm tunnel. After the inside of the lens of the eye is completely cleaned, a new lens with the strength required by the eye is placed in the posterior capsule sac that is left in place. The incision sites are inflated and the surgery is finalised by antibiotics usage into the eye
Femtosecond Laser Technology
A femtosecond laser has a pulse duration in the femtosecond range. Due to the short beat, the heat generated at the point where the laser application area is transferred to the neighboring cell and it becomes effective at the point it focuses on. Due to very short beat The heat generated at the point where the laser is applied (is not transferred to the neighboring cells) and it becomes effective at the point it focuses on. For this reason, the incision obtained with the femtosecond laser it is smooth.
Femtosecond laser that can pass (as a property of the infrared wavelength) through transparent area with the micron sized 1-3 in the cornea layer, the transparent front layer of the eye with the ray carbon dioxide and water bubbles are formed, these bubbles cause tissue decomposition providing much more precise, fast, and reliable incision can be created.
