The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation Eye Clinic recently unveiled a new eye surgery. The procedure which involved a state of the art cataract extraction with Intra Occular Lens Implantation was done by Dr. George Norton, through a procedure known as Pharco Emulsification.
Norton is a Consultant Ophthalmologist at the GPHC.
According to a press statement from the hospital, two successful surgeries were performed without anaesthetic injection. The anesthesia is applied via eye drops.
The release further stated that the surgical process was completed in approximately ten minutes and was done using one of the most modern pieces of equipment —-the Infinity —- supplied by Alcon Company.
The nurses in the department have been trained in the operation and care of the equipment. The Surgeons, who were already aware of this technique, now have full access to its utilization. This will almost triple the rate of Cataract surgeries at the GPHC.
The first two patients who benefitted from this procedure on Tuesday and are now recuperating, are Karamdai Elise of Essequibo and Mahade Lallman of Plantation Hope.
