Small Incision Cataract Surgery

Procedure

1. Incision: SICS involves a smaller incision compared to traditional cataract surgery. A self-sealing, small incision is made to access the cataract-affected lens.

2. Phacoemulsification: The cloudy lens is broken down using phacoemulsification, an ultrasonic device that emulsifies the cataract into small pieces.

3. Lens Extraction: The fragmented lens is then removed through the small incision, leaving the natural lens capsule intact.

4. IOL Implantation: An intraocular lens (IOL) is carefully implanted into the lens capsule, restoring clear vision. Dr. Sathe's clinic offers a variety of IOL options tailored to each patient's needs.

Benefits

1. Faster Recovery: SICS allows for a quicker recovery compared to traditional cataract surgery, with many patients experiencing improved vision within a few days.

2. Reduced Astigmatism: The smaller incision in SICS minimizes induced astigmatism, contributing to enhanced visual outcomes.

3. Minimized Discomfort: The procedure is designed to be less invasive, resulting in reduced discomfort during and after surgery.

4. Outpatient Procedure: SICS is typically performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home on the same day.

Advanced Technology: Dr. Sathe's Eye Clinic & Laser Centre is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure precision and safety during SICS procedures. Advanced diagnostic tools and high-quality intraocular lenses contribute to optimal surgical outcomes.
