Micro-incision Cataract Surgery (MICS) and MICS lenses

Intraindividual comparative study of corneal and ocular wavefront aberrations after biaxial microincision versus coaxial small-incision cataract surgery.

AIM To compare the optical outcomes of biaxial microincision cataract surgery (B-MICS) versus coaxial small-incision cataract surgery (C-SICS). METHODS Thirty patients (sixty eyes) with bilateral age-related cataract underwent B-MICS through a 1.7 mm clear corneal incision (CCI) in one eye and C-SICS through a 2.8-mm CCI in the other eye. Every eye was implanted with a micro-incision aspheric...

Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS)/ Bimanual Phacoemuslsification. Initial Problems and the Solutions

Comparison of corneal aberrations after biaxial microincision and microcoaxial cataract surgeries: a prospective study.

PURPOSE To compare the effects of biaxial microincision cataract surgery (B-MICS) and microcoaxial cataract surgery (C-MICS) techniques on corneal optical quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective study, 40 eyes underwent B-MICS and 40 eyes C-MICS. Corneal aberrations were derived from conversion of the corneal elevation profile into corneal wavefront data with 6.0  mm aperture diame...

Insertion of a foldable hydrophobic IOL through the trabeculectomy fistula in cases with Microincision cataract surgery combined with trabeculectomy

BACKGROUND The use of conventional foldable hydrophobic intraocular lenses (IOLs) in microincision cataract surgery (MICS) currently requires wound enlargement. We describe a combined surgical technique of MICS and trabeculectomy with insertion of a foldable IOL through the trabeculectomy fistula. METHODS After completion of MICS through two side port incisions, a 3.2 mm keratome is used to e...

Comparison of clinical outcomes with 2 small-incision diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses.

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the clinical results of 2 diffractive multifocal small-incision intraocular lenses (IOLs) implanted after biaxial microincision cataract surgery (MICS). SETTING Atatürk Training and Research Hospital, 2nd Ophthalmology Department, Ankara, Turkey. DESIGN Comparative case series. METHODS Eyes that had biaxial MICS with implantation of an Acri.Lisa 366D IOL (G...
