The Future of Cataract Removal

MICS: Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery

Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS) represents a major leap in ophthalmic technology. Unlike traditional phacoemulsification which uses a 2.8mm to 3.2mm incision, MICS is performed through an incision of less than 2.2mm. At Maya Netralaya, Dr. Rahul Singh utilizes this "cold phaco" technique to provide patients with the safest and fastest visual rehabilitation available today.

Why Choose MICS Over Standard Surgery?

Minimal Astigmatism

Smaller incisions do not change the shape of the cornea, resulting in better "unaided" vision after surgery.

Faster Healing

The tiny incision is self-sealing and heals much faster, allowing you to return to work within 24-48 hours.

Reduced Infection Risk

The smaller the wound, the lower the risk of post-operative endophthalmitis or other infections.

Better Visual Quality

MICS is perfectly compatible with advanced "Aspheric" and "Multifocal" premium lenses.

The MICS Process at Maya Netralaya

Dr. Rahul Singh follows a meticulous AIIMS-standard protocol for every MICS procedure:

Advanced Biometry: Precise calculation of the Intraocular Lens (IOL) power using optical technology.
Topical Anesthesia: No injections. Only numbing drops are used for a painless experience.
Cold Phacoemulsification: Use of specialized fluidics to keep the eye cool during lens removal.
Sub-2.2mm Implantation: A foldable premium lens is injected through the micro-incision.

Is MICS Right for You?

MICS is suitable for almost all types of cataracts, including "hard" or advanced cataracts. During your consultation, Dr. Singh will perform a corneal topography to determine how this technology can specifically benefit your eye structure.

Expert Advice

"MICS is not just a surgery; it's a refractive correction. It allows us to use the most advanced lenses without the interference of surgical astigmatism."
