Advanced Surgical Techniques

We use state-of-the-art technology including phacoemulsification and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) for precision and rapid recovery. These advanced methods minimize discomfort and enhance visual results.

After your procedure, our team provides follow-up care to ensure you’re healing properly.

What is Phacoemulsification?

This video demonstrates how phacoemulsification uses ultrasound to break up and remove the cloudy lens through a tiny incision. It’s one of the most common and efficient techniques in modern cataract surgery—fast, precise, and safe.

Choosing our clinic ensures a smooth and supportive journey.
