Phacoemulsification surgery in Nagpur

Phacoemulsification surgery in Nagpur

What is Phacoemulsification?

Phacoemulsification (often “phaco”) is an advanced type of cataract surgery. A cloudy natural lens in the eye (cataract) is broken up using ultrasonic energy, the fragments are removed, and an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted. This modern technique usually allows smaller incisions, faster recovery, less discomfort, and better visual outcomes compared to older methods.Phacoemulsification is among the best options available today for treating cataracts, offering faster recovery, better visual outcomes, and fewer complications. In Nagpur, Dr. N. D. Patil is a highly experienced surgeon offering this advanced surgery with care, modern technology, and affordability.
If you or your loved ones are experiencing cataract symptoms, booking a consultation with an expert like Dr. Patil can help clarify whether phacoemulsification is the right choice, what lens works best, and what you can expect in terms of vision and recovery.

Why Choose Phacoemulsification?

  • Smaller incision: Less tissue disruption, less scarring.

  • Quicker healing: Patients generally recover faster and have improved vision sooner.

  • Reduced astigmatism risk: With micro-incisions, there’s often less induced astigmatism.

  • Versatile lens options: Monofocal, multifocal, toric, etc., depending on vision needs.

  • Outpatient or short stay: Many phaco surgeries are done as day procedures with minimal hospital stay.

Dr. N. D. Patil: Expert Eye Surgeon in Nagpur

Dr. N. D. Patil is a specialist in Advanced Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgeries, among other subspecialties including oculoplasty, glaucoma, and community ophthalmology. He trained at Government Medical College, Nagpur (MBBS, MS Ophthalmology) and has held academic and clinical roles such as lecturer, senior resident, and assistant professor in premier institutions. He has over three decades of experience in eye-care.

At his centre in Nagpur, Dr. Patil uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, ensuring that patients receive up-to-date management. His clinic emphasizes quality of care, safety, patient counseling, and post-operative follow-up.

Who is a Candidate for Phacoemulsification?

Phaco is recommended in cases such as:

  • Cataract causing vision impairment (cloudy lens, difficulty seeing clearly)

  • Interference with daily activities (reading, driving, work)

  • If the cataract is affecting other eye health (raising eye pressure, risk of complications)

  • When general health permits surgery

  • With realistic expectations about outcomes

Dr. Patil assesses each patient individually, considering lens density, comorbid eye conditions (glaucoma, retina issues), general health, and patient expectations before recommending phaco.

Process of Phaco Surgery

  • Pre-operative evaluation

    • Detailed eye examination (slit lamp, retina check)

    • Measuring eye dimensions (axial length, corneal curvature) to select appropriate IOL

    • General health check (blood sugar, blood pressure, etc.)

  • Day of surgery

    • Local or topical anaesthesia

    • Small incision (often clear corneal)

    • Phacoemulsification: ultrasonic probe breaks up the cataract lens

    • Aspiration/removal of fragmented material

    • Implantation of IOL

  • Post-operative care

    • Eye patch or shield, short rest

    • Eye drops (antibiotic, anti-inflammatory)

    • Follow-ups (often next day, then at 1 week, 1 month)

    • Avoid rubbing eye, heavy lifting, swimming until cleared

Risks and Complications

While phacoemulsification is generally safe, as with any surgery there are risks. Dr. Patil ensures patients are properly informed about possible complications:

  • Infection

  • Swelling of cornea or retina

  • Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) — sometimes requiring laser treatment later

  • Intraoperative issues (dropping lens fragments, very dense cataracts require special handling)

  • Refractive surprises (vision not exactly as expected)

Proper surgical technique, good pre-operative planning, and post-operative care mitigate most risks.
