Sutureless cataract surgery is an advanced technique where the cataract is removed, and an intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted without the need for sutures. This minimally invasive procedure uses small incisions, typically smaller than 2 mm, to remove the cloudy natural lens and replace it with a clear synthetic lens.
The absence of sutures speeds up the healing process and reduces the risk of infection or complications. This technique is effective in most cataract surgeries, providing patients with faster visual recovery and less post-operative discomfort.
Sutureless cataract surgery is widely considered the preferred method for cataract treatment, offering a safe, efficient solution with fewer complications, especially for elderly patients or those with complex medical histories.
