Clear vision after phaco surgery

Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness, commonly affecting older adults. The disease causes a gradual decrease in vision, resulting in blurred vision, a hazy appearance, and a feeling of seeing a veil over the eyes, severely impacting daily life. Previously, treatment for cataracts was limited, but with advancements in medicine, particularly phacoemulsification surgery, patients now have the opportunity to regain clear vision and significantly improve their quality of life.

Ms. Ha Thi Yen Anh (residing in Tam Hiep ward, Dong Nai province) stated: Previously, both of her eyes were cloudy and she couldn't see clearly. Three months ago, she underwent surgery on her right eye, and after the surgery, her vision improved significantly. A few days ago, she went to Hanoi Eye Hospital - Dong Nai for surgery on her left eye.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Yen (residing in Binh Long ward, Dong Nai province) shared: Recently, doctors from the Hanoi - Dong Nai Eye Hospital came to the ward to provide free eye examinations for the elderly. She was diagnosed with severe cataracts and recommended phaco surgery. She went to the hospital for a thorough examination and decided to undergo surgery to regain her clear vision.

Dr. Tran Ngoc Hung, Deputy Director of Hanoi - Dong Nai Eye Hospital, said: Phaco surgery is a method of breaking down cloudy lenses using ultrasound waves, then suctioning them out and replacing them with artificial lenses. Compared to traditional surgery, phaco surgery has many outstanding advantages. These include extremely small incisions, no need for sutures, less pain, a quick surgery time (about 5 minutes), and patients recover quickly and can be discharged on the same day. Early detection and timely treatment will help patients avoid serious complications and maintain healthy eyesight.

With phacoemulsification surgery, patients not only regain clear vision but can also choose a suitable artificial lens, improving near and far vision and enhancing their quality of life. To provide the best results for patients, Hanoi - Dong Nai Eye Hospital has invested in a modern and comprehensive system of equipment and a team of experienced doctors who have received specialized training both domestically and internationally. In addition to phaco surgery, the hospital also implements many other advanced ophthalmology techniques such as: refractive surgery, laser retinal treatment, and pediatric eye care...

The hospital also focuses on advising and guiding people to have regular eye checkups, especially those over 50, as this group is at high risk of developing cataracts.
