Small Incision
Small Incision Cataract Surgeries, also known as “phacoemulsification” or “phaco” surgeries, are advanced techniques used to treat cataracts. This procedure involves making small incisions, typically between 2.2 to 3.0 millimeters, to access and remove the cataract, followed by the insertion of an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The smaller incisions and specialized instruments used in this technique allow for precise and efficient cataract removal, resulting in improved vision and faster recovery.
The surgeon creates a small incision in the cornea and uses an ultrasound probe to break the cataract into tiny fragments. These fragments are then gently suctioned out through the incision. Once the cataract is removed, an artificial IOL is implanted to replace the natural lens, restoring clear vision. The small incision size reduces the impact on the eye’s structures, leading to minimal disruption and faster healing. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and minimizing post-operative pain.
A Guide to Small Incision Cataract Surgery
Small Incision Cataract Surgeries offer enhanced surgical precision through smaller incisions and advanced instruments, ensuring precise cataract removal and optimal visual outcomes. They prioritize maintaining corneal integrity by minimizing disruption, reducing the risk of astigmatism, and promoting better visual outcomes and overall eye health.
Functions
Our skilled optometrists and ophthalmologists conduct a variety of procedures throughout a Small Incision Cataract Surgeries at Dr. Parthasarathy Memorial Hospital to analyse and assess your refractive power.
Precise Cataract Removal

Minimally Invasive Approach
The smaller incisions used in this technique result in less trauma to the eye, reducing discomfort, promoting a faster recovery, and allowing patients to resume their daily activities sooner.
Enhanced Safety
Small Incision Cataract Surgeries have an excellent safety profile, with reduced risks of infection, inflammation, and induced astigmatism compared to traditional cataract surgery techniques.
Improved Visual Outcomes
The precise removal of the cataract and the implantation of an artificial IOL result in improved visual acuity and clarity, allowing patients to enjoy better vision post-surgery.
Refractive Correction
Small Incision Cataract Surgeries can address refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, reducing the need for corrective eyewear.

Application of Refractive Power Checkup
Small Incision Cataract Surgeries have a wide range of applications, offering effective solutions for various scenarios and conditions. They are commonly used to treat age-related cataracts, which develop gradually with aging and lead to vision impairment. Additionally, Small Incision Cataract Surgeries can effectively address congenital cataracts, ensuring proper visual development in children. These surgeries are suitable for treating traumatic cataracts resulting from eye injuries or trauma, restoring vision and improving overall eye health. Moreover, they offer an effective solution for complicated cataracts associated with conditions like glaucoma or retinal diseases. Small Incision Cataract Surgeries can also be combined with astigmatism correction techniques, addressing both cataracts and astigmatism for comprehensive visual correction.
Patients with high myopia or hyperopia can benefit from these surgeries as they correct both cataracts and refractive errors simultaneously. Advanced multifocal or accommodating intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in Small Incision Cataract Surgeries effectively address presbyopia, reducing dependence on reading glasses. These surgeries also offer successful outcomes for recurrent cataracts, complex cases where traditional techniques may not be suitable, and secondary cataracts that develop as a complication of other eye surgeries or conditions. The versatility and effectiveness of Small Incision Cataract Surgeries make them a preferred choice in treating various types of cataracts and associated visual conditions.
