Two-mm chord manual small-incision cataract surgery with phacofracture: A brief exposition of the surgical technique.

We describe a surgical technique for manual small-incision cataract extraction with 2-mm chord incision with phacofracture. The authors describe a curvilinear 2-mm chord incision 1.5 mm behind the limbus and antiparallel to the limbus with back cuts of variable length; 1.

State of the nation survey on cataract surgery in India.

Purpose: To study the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the ophthalmologists in India regarding cataract extraction practices.

Methods: A prospective, online, descriptive study was conducted from January 2022 to April 2022 using a self-developed validated questionnaire attached which was administered through a generated link.

Results: The mean age of these 153 respondents was 47.

Evolution of manual small-incision cataract surgery from 8 mm to 2 mm - A comprehensive review.

Cataract is the most common cause of reversible blindness worldwide, accounting for approximately 50% of blindness worldwide. Cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure performed in routine ophthalmic practice. It has undergone tremendous evolution, and the incision size has progressively reduced from 10-12 mm in extracapsular cataract surgery (ECCE) to 6-8 mm for manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS) and 2.

Health economics and manual small-incision cataract surgery: An illustrative mini review.

Cataract extraction is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. Manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS) is a popular technique of cataract extraction. Full economic evaluation of different techniques is of value to policy makers.

Early postoperative astigmatism in 2-mm manual small incision cataract surgery with phacofracture.

Purpose: India's cataract surgery rate has been hovering around a creditable 6000 per million population but the coverage is variable across the geography and demography with sharp urban rural divide. Smaller incisions in manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) with phacofracture have been credited with lower astigmatism and faster recovery, which is especially useful for patients traveling for surgeries.

Methods: In this retrospective chart analysis based observational study of 66 eyes, we describe the early postoperative results with 2 mm MSICS with phacofracture.
