Microincision Cataract Surgery
The definitive treatment of cataract is primarily surgical. Over the years, the surgical technique has undergone a revolution in both technique and patient outcomes — today, cataract surgery is both safe and effective, and advances in technology mean quicker recovery and better visual rehabilitation.
It began with small-incision cataract surgery, with an incision less than 4mm in size, against a 12–14mm incision in typical extracapsular cataract extraction. The introduction of phacoemulsification changed cataract surgery forever, heralding refined micro-incision techniques. The latest advancement is Microincision Cataract Surgery (MICS), where the incision is less than 2mm.
Who Needs Microincision Cataract Surgery?
If you have cataracts, your doctor will first try to improve your vision using glasses. If vision doesn't improve with glasses, or you struggle with glare, they will recommend you consider cataract surgery.
Most doctors find patient satisfaction and visual recovery are both best with MICS, and will be happy to discuss its risks and benefits with you. Vista Eye Care is among the best clinics for Microincision Cataract Surgery in Delhi.
All kinds of cataracts, regardless of grade and severity, are amenable to treatment with Microincision Cataract Surgery.
Advantages of MICS
- Smaller incision results in quicker healing
- Decreased chances of surgically induced astigmatism, since the incision is smaller — therefore less need for glasses after surgery
- Faster recovery of vision, shorter surgical period
- Compatible with premium IOLs, for better visual results
- Faster healing thanks to the smaller incision — an added advantage for diabetic and older patients, and those with other comorbidities
- Better suited to patients with corneal compromise and zonular weakness, thanks to better fluidics and lower phaco energy
- No need for anaesthesia injections, stitches, bandages or prolonged restriction of activities — fewer follow-up visits are required, and patients return to their usual routine quickly
- Easy to learn for a surgeon well versed in phacoemulsification, with a nearly flat learning curve
- Compatible with all existing phacoemulsification platforms, so investment in this technology isn't very high
