What is the most common type of cataract surgery?
The most common type of cataract surgery is phacoemulsification (or "phaco"). During this procedure, the surgeon makes a tiny incision in the eye, uses ultrasound waves to break up the cloudy lens, and then removes it. A new, clear artificial lens is then placed in your eye to restore vision. Phacoemulsification is quick, usually painless, and typically requires only a small incision, leading to a faster recovery.
Is the laserphaco probe currently in use anywhere?
Having experience from Norway, Denmark and South Africa as a senior ophthalmic surgeon; the answer is no. Having followed different international conferences; the answer is no. In the industrial world, ultrasound-like phacoemulsification is totally dominating. In the developing world, some phacoemulsification is in use, otherwise they just remove the cataract trough a big incision, using only water and suction, called Extra Capsular Cataract Extraction.
