Small incision cataract surgery
Continuting the trend of Smaller is Better, Minimally invasive surgeries like cardiac and Gastro-enterology surgery, the cataract surgery has also moved from large incision (12mm) to smaller incision (6mm) to even smaller incision (3mm). And then to micro incision.
The present options in phaco surgeries are:
- Standard Phaco, Option I
First Generation Phaco surgery done using simpler machines, the incision size is 3.2 mm. This type of surgery was first conducted in late 70’s. The surgery was done using injection to give local anesthesia.
- Cold Phoco, Option II
The second generation phaco surgery, the normal incision size is 2.8mm but it is much safer since the amount of heat being delivered to the eye gets reduced significantly thus reducing the trauma. The walk-in, walk-out surgery thus resulted without using injection and patch.
