Results for tag: "Phacoemulsification"

Phacoemulsification is a surgical procedure used in ophthalmology to remove cataracts from the eye. It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound energy to break up and remove the cataract. The procedure is performed using a phacoemulsification machine, which consists of a phacoemulsification handpiece, a fluidics system, and a control console. The handpiece is inserted into the eye and the ultrasound energy is used to break up the cataract. The fluidics system is used to irrigate and aspirate the cataract fragments. The control console is used to control the power and frequency of the ultrasound energy. The phacoemulsification market is a growing segment of the optical industry. It is driven by the increasing prevalence of cataracts, the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures, and the availability of advanced technology. Companies in the market include Alcon, Bausch + Lomb, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Hoya Corporation, Nidek, and Topcon Corporation. Show Less Read more
