He pioneered the refinement of phacoemulsification techniques — a method using ultrasound to break up cataracts for easier removal. The surgeon optimizes methods to prevent complications like posterior capsule opacification, which causes clouded vision after surgery. This ensures better visual outcomes and long-term stability for his patients.
