Procedure

How micro incision cataract surgery (mics) works.

A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.

1

Pre-operative Assessment

Detailed eye examination including corneal topography, biometry, and lens power calculations to determine the most suitable intraocular lens for optimal visual outcomes.

2

Anaesthesia Administration

Topical anaesthetic drops are applied to numb the eye surface, ensuring complete patient comfort throughout the procedure without requiring injections in most cases.

3

Micro Incision Creation

A self-sealing incision of less than 2mm is made at the corneal periphery, significantly smaller than traditional techniques, allowing for sutureless closure and faster healing.

4

Phacoemulsification

Ultrasonic energy breaks the clouded lens into tiny fragments which are gently aspirated out through the micro incision, preserving the natural lens capsule for implant placement.

5

Intraocular Lens Implantation

A foldable premium intraocular lens is inserted through the micro incision and positioned within the preserved capsular bag, restoring clear vision immediately after surgery.

Myths vs Facts

Common misconceptions.

Let's clear up some of the most common myths about micro incision cataract surgery (mics).

MythCataracts must be fully mature before surgery
MythCataract surgery is painful and requires long recovery
MythCataracts can return after surgery

What happens if micro incision cataract surgery (mics) is delayed?

  • Untreated cataracts progressively worsen, leading to severe visual impairment that interferes with driving, reading, and daily activities, significantly diminishing quality of life and independence. Advanced cataracts increase surgical complexity and risk of complications, while also elevating the risk of falls, accidents, and injuries due to poor vision. Delayed treatment may result in secondary complications including glaucoma, inflammation, or complete vision loss in the affected eye.
