Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) Introduction:

Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) is a cataract removal procedure used to treat vision loss caused by a cloudy eye lens. In this surgery, the cataract is removed through a self-sealing small incision without the need for ultrasound energy. An artificial intraocular lens is then implanted to restore clear vision.

Efficient Cataract Extraction Through a Self-Sealing Surgical Approach

This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort during surgery. The eye and surrounding area are prepared using sterile Nivda Ophthalmic Drapes to create a secure and contamination-free operative field. A small scleral or corneal incision is made, and specialized ophthalmic instruments are used to access the cataractous lens. The cloudy lens is carefully removed through the incision while preserving the capsular structure required for lens implantation. A sterile intraocular lens is inserted into the eye to restore visual function and improve clarity. Following lens placement, the surgical site is protected with sterile disposables to support healing and reduce infection risk.

  • Significant reduction in visual acuity affecting daily activities 
  • Cataracts causing glare sensitivity and poor night vision
