Ludhiana, August 5, 2013: Department of Ophthalmology at DMCH has recently acquired the 'Infiniti Phacoemulsification machine' for Advanced suturless cataract surgery, informed Dr GS Bajwa (Professor & Head of Opthalamology).
It is the first installation in Ludhiana. It is equipped with a special patented technology 'Ozil IP' with Torsional Phaco which enables a torsional movement of the phaco tip as compared to traditional phaco. 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.
