Please contact us if you have any further questions. I was advised to have an intraocular lens insertion for he right eye first. I would like to know which method or technique should I use the phaco or the manual insertion, if u could advise me on their advantages and disadvantages and which has a better prognosis. Awaiting your reply. Cataract surgery has become a very safe and effective procedure.
Most people have excellent results whichever technique is used.
A manual method removes the cataract in pieces without dissolving it entirely within the eye. Under normal circumstances the resulting vision will be equal with either procedure. There are some small risks associated with the phacoemulsification machine that are usually not present when the manual technique is used. However, some people find that their vision recovers slightly more quickly when a phaco procedure is done compared to a manual technique. Which ever technique is used, it is likely that your vision will improve dramatically from its current level.
