Cataract is an eye disease that attacks the eye lens. Cataract causes protein to accumulated on your eye lens. This makes the transparent eye lens to go opaque. Such an eye disease can be completely cured using cataract surgery.
Cataract disease causes serious effects on your vision. As the protein clouds start scattering in the lens of an eye, your vision gets blurred gradually. This disorder could also results in permanent loss of vision.
Cataract surgery is getting common in old aged people. General cataract surgeries are quite painful. Also, your eye takes longer to heal after such surgery. With the advancement in technology, there have been many new techniques introduced in surgical procedure as well. One of them is introduced is Micro-Incision cataract surgery.
Modern approaches for cataract strive for smaller incisions that are safe. Micro-Incision cataract surgery (MICS) uses incision less that 1.8mm to reduce surgical invasiveness, at the same time it improves surgical outcomes.
The advantages of MICS are:
Control and avoid astigmatismAstigmatism is the common imperfection in the eye's curative. Astigmatism creates distortion of vision to some degree at all distances. So during the cataract surgery, if there is an occurrence of incorrect astigmatism, it can put a lot of strain on your eye and cause headache. MICS gives control over astigmatism situation.
Decrease post-operative corneal aberrationsWhen the light rays fail to converge at one focus because of defective eye lens, it is called as an aberration. A Micro-Incision Cataract surgery is known to decrease the chances of such corneal aberrations.
Micro-Incision Cataract surgery is known to be safe and sophisticated procedure. Recovery period of this surgery is quite less; hence, patients can return to their normal daily activities quicker. Patients are asked to follow all the needed guidelines to enhance their recovery process.
