Phacosclerosis is not a type of cataract; rather, it refers to a condition characterized by the hardening of the lens of the eye, often associated with aging. While it can occur alongside cataracts, which involve clouding of the lens, phacosclerosis specifically addresses the lens's increased density and rigidity. Therefore, while they can be related, they are distinct conditions.

What type of cataract is not operable?

In cases where the cataract has led to complications like glaucoma or other eye diseases, surgery may also be deemed too risky. Additionally, patients with certain health conditions or those who are unable to undergo anesthesia may be considered unsuitable for cataract surgery.
What is Femto Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery?
Femto laser-assisted cataract surgery is a new and innovative way to perform cataract surgery. It uses a special type of laser to create precise incisions in the eye, which allows the surgeon to remove the cataract with greater accuracy and efficiency. During the surgery, the surgeon first creates a tiny opening in the eye using the laser. They then use the laser to soften the cataract, which makes it easier to remove.
