Minimally Invasive Cataract Surgery (MICS): Stitchless, Painless & Rapid Recovery

Cataracts remain the leading cause of reversible vision impairment worldwide. Fortunately, modern ophthalmology has transformed cataract treatment from an invasive hospital stay into an elegant, painless 10-minute outpatient procedure known as Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS).

Key Highlights of MICS Cataract Surgery

  • No Needles or Injections: Performed under topical eye drop anesthesia—no painful injections around the eye or black eye patches required.
  • Micro-Incision (1.8mm – 2.2mm): Self-sealing incisions require zero stitches and heal naturally within days.
  • Advanced Phacoemulsification: Gentle ultrasound liquifies the cloudy natural lens with minimal thermal effect on corneal endothelium.
  • Foldable Premium IOLs: Implantation of customized Monofocal, Toric (astigmatism correcting), and Multifocal/EDOF intraocular lenses restores crisp distance, intermediate, and reading vision.
