Cataract Surgery - Series: Procedure, part 2
Alternatively, phacoemulsification can be performed. This involves the insertion, through a small incision on the eye, of a needle with a small device on its end that produces sound waves. Sound waves delivered through this needle break up the lens, which is then sucked out through the needle. This procedure requires a smaller incision than the above manual extraction procedure, but is more expensive and requires specialized surgical training
