MICS (Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery)

Cataract surgery has transformed significantly over the past decade, evolving to meet higher refractive demands. New technologies have enabled the shift from larger incisions (8-10 mm) to Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS) with incisions under 1.8 mm, minimizing invasiveness. MICS reduces surgically induced corneal astigmatism and postoperative corneal instability, ensuring more precise and successful outcomes.

The benefits of this procedure are

  • Improved Intraoperative Control
  • Safety and efficiency compared to phacoemulsification performed through a larger incision.
  • Better visual outcomes
  • Minimally invasive
  • Rapid healing

Minimizing SIA (Surgically Induced Astigmatism) is particularly important in procedures using a premium IOL (Intraocular Cataract Lenses) either toric, multifocal, or toric multifocal implants to achieve the best results.

(Note: Your doctor needs to decide what kind of lens is most suitable for you)
