Risk of complications when the eye has cataracts.
According to experts, cataracts carry a high risk of complications and blindness if not detected and treated early. It is also the leading cause of permanent vision loss for millions of people worldwide . Therefore, people with cataracts need early detection and timely treatment to minimize the risk of dangerous health complications.
Once a person develops cataracts, they must undergo surgery to replace the cloudy lens with a clear one. Currently, Phacoemulsification (PHCO) is considered the most modern cataract surgery technique. PHCO uses ultrasound waves to emulsify the cloudy lens, after which the surgeon replaces it with an artificial lens. The replacement lenses are primarily monofocal or multifocal, allowing for significant vision improvement after surgery.

Since April 2023, Phuc Hung Private General Hospital has received support from leading experts at the central level in performing cataract surgery using Phaco. Dozens of patients have come here for treatment and are delighted that their eyesight has recovered.
Mr. Nguyen Tien (80 years old, residing in Binh Chau commune, Binh Son district, Quang Ngai province ) said that his eyesight had been deteriorating and gradually blurring, making it very difficult for him to move around. Therefore, he went to Phuc Hung Private General Hospital for examination, where doctors determined that his vision had decreased by 50%, he had cataracts, and his vision was blurry. Afterward, Mr. Tien was scheduled for cataract surgery using the Phaco method. Three days after the surgery, Mr. Tien returned for a follow-up examination, and his vision had recovered; his eyesight was bright and clear, and he could move around easily.
All patients at Phuc Hung Private General Hospital undergo thorough screening by doctors. Accordingly, those with visual acuity below 4/10, and depending on age, living and working conditions, will be considered for Phaco surgery and other appropriate indications.
According to MSc-Dr. To Thi Ky Anh, an ophthalmologist from Ho Chi Minh City, Phaco surgery can be considered the best method currently available. Patients benefit from many advantages such as small incisions (2.2 mm - 3 mm, no sutures needed), short surgery time (about 20 minutes), same-day discharge, safety, high success rate, few complications, minimal damage to intraocular tissues, and rapid vision recovery.
In Quang Ngai, Phuc Hung Private General Hospital has partnered with leading experts to perform Phaco surgery. Residents of Quang Ngai and neighboring provinces can rest assured when seeking treatment at this hospital, reducing travel costs, saving time, and ensuring a safe and rapid eye recovery process. Dr. Huynh Thi Tam (Phuc Hung Private General Hospital) stated that the hospital is fully equipped with modern machinery for Phaco surgery. The hospital's medical staff have received specialized training and technical guidance from specialists at the central level and the Ho Chi Minh City Eye Hospital, and will gradually take over Phaco surgery procedures.
Currently, on the third Saturday of every month, Phuc Hung Private General Hospital (6 Cao Ba Quat Street, Nghia Chanh Ward, Quang Ngai City, Quang Ngai Province) performs Phaco surgery with experts from Ho Chi Minh City: Dr. Nguyen Do Nguyen (Specialist Level 2); MSc-Dr. To Thi Ky Anh; and Dr. Le Duc Quoc (Specialist Level 1).
