Through a tiny, self‑sealing opening at the edge of the cornea, the misty natural lens is gently removed and replaced with a clear intraocular lens implant. Typically, no sutures are required to close the wound, and the operation is highly refined and completed in minutes while you remain comfortable.

For the technically minded: Standard care is micro‑incision phacoemulsification via approximately 2.2 millimetre clear‑corneal incision, with continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, hydrodissection, nucleus division and cortical aspiration. A foldable intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted into the capsular bag to maintain stability and centration.
