DMCH installs new machinesuterless cataract surgery

Department of ophthalmology has installed a new 'Infiniti Phacoemulsification machine' for advanced sutureless cataract surgery recently at Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) here.
In a statement, Dr GS Bajwa, head of ophthalmology department, said: “The machine is equipped with a special patented technology, Ozil IP, with Torsional Phaco that enables a torsional movement of the phaco tip as compared to traditional phaco.
An optometrist examines a patient.
It increases surgical efficiency with reduction of phaco energy without compromising the results, lesser heat generation and less irritating fluid being used during surgery. All this keeps the eye in a more natural state.”

Dr Sumeet Chopra, associate professor of ophthalmology, said: “The department has also acquired the latest generation Zeiss Spectral Domain High Definition Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), the first installation of this machine in north India. It is a noninvasive tool for analysing retinal disorders in patients with diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular occlusions, and macular hole. It is also useful in diagnosis and management of glaucoma.”
