Description:
Micro-incisions and phaco-emulsification is an advanced procedure wherein the surgeon removes the cataract through a small incision.
Microincision Phacoemulsification is a procedure in which the cataract is removed with a sub 2 mm incision and a foldable micronicision lens is implanted though it.

Phaco-emulsification uses ultra-sound vibrations to break apart and fragment the cataract it into tiny pieces. A suctioning device then removes the cataract, leaving the rear portion of the lens capsule intact. The incisions used in the procedure are less than 2 mm.
This can be a stitch-less procedure or might involve a few stitches depending on the type of lenses implanted. Soft lenses can be inserted without a stitch whereas hard lenses might require several stitches.

Suitability:
All healthy patients with cataracts that impair vision are candidates for micro-incision and phaco-emulsification implants.
