It was not a long ago that Cataract surgery would put patients off their daily routine for more than weeks and at times with the eyes strapped in swathes of bandage. But now Cataract surgery has given reasons to make every one smile.

Cataract occurs in the elderly people and tends to develop as the age increases basically a cataract is opacity in the natural lens of the eye, which normally is seen with age. The normal lens in the human eye is transparent and allows light to reach the retina. When it becomes opaque (cataract) usually with ageing it does not permit light to reach the retina and the patient is unable to see clearly.

The technique of S-MICS makes this cataract surgery super safe, painless, speedy and super accurate, The vision recovery after the surgery near instantaneous within a matter of minutes with no need for pad or bandage after the surgery where in the patient may even be able to drive back home and resume the daily routines of life the same or max within one day.

Ensuring extremely high quality surgery has been made possible with the new technique called Stellaris-Micro incision cataract surgery (using Co-axial Micro incision cataract surgery) also simply called S-MICS.

This revolutionary technique of cataract removal is done with a state of the art equipment called “Stellaris Vision Enhancement System” by Bausch and lomb, launched recently all over the world. and is one of the most advanced cataract removal systems on the planet.

The advantages of reducing the incision size from the present popular size 0f 2.8-3.4 mm with standard phacoemulsification by approximately 50% to 1.6-1.8mm using the S-MICS are significant for the patient namely-

All these above advantages contribute to this particular cataract surgery SMICS being more safe even in summe/rainy seasonr, thus breaking the age old myth about cataract surgery being unsafe in summner and rainy seasons.

This surgery is completed using a special lens the MI60 MIL which can be inserted through the original 1.6-1.8 mm.

These MIL-60 lenses offer the patient a clear vision across all varying light conditions and contrast situations and are even reported to give better vision than the patient had ever experienced before having cataract, these lenses are designed to give maximal quality of vision and reduced to reduce the rate of after cataract to bare minimum. In fact S-MICS is the most modern method of the cataract operation along with MIL through with a small (1.8mm to 1.6 mm) wound size in the world today and the conventional technique of phaco of 3 mm is going to be obsolete.

With this advanced technology of S-MICS, more and more cataract patients are getting benefit from this surgery where the surgery is done with the minimum 1.6-1.8 mm incision and thereby proves to be the most patient friendly surgery as it leads to better healing and faster recovery.
