Overview
Phacoemulsification (phaco) surgery is a modern method to treat cataracts. It is a minimally invasive, precise procedure that uses ultrasound energy to break up the cloudy lens, which is then replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). If you are considering phaco surgery in South Kolkata, our expert team ensures safe and best-in-class treatment with advanced technology.
