Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS)
Small incision, about 2 mm. Opaque lens
removed by emulsification using ultrasound
energy and artificial foldable lens implanted
No stitches required. OPD procedure with
immediate recovery
Types of lenses implanted
The different types of lenses available
are:
- Monofocal IOL: The distance
vision is corrected but reading glasses
for near work are required. They come
in two designs, regular or aspheric
surface. The aspheric design IOL provides
better contrast and improved quality
of even night vision.
- Multifocal IOL: These are
premium IOLs which give good distant,
intermediate and near vision. They are
designed with multiple concentric rings
or other unique in-built features that
allow objects at varying distances to
be brought into focus. These lenses
reduce the patient's dependence on glasses
for routine activities.
- Toric Lenses: These have
cylindrical power incorporated in the
lens and can correct the cylindrical
power
- Accommodative Lenses: Crystalens,
the only FDA approved accommodative
lens is now available in India. This
latest technology allows the lens to
move back and forth, allowing it to
bring into focus objects at varying
distances (near, intermediate and far).
This lens remains free from the side
effects of glares, haloes and ghost
images which may sometimes be reported
with multifocal IOLS.
Can I get cataract after surgery?
Since the natural lens is removed permanently
hence you can never get cataract again but
in 5-10% of cases the posterior capsule
can be opacified which is easily treated
using laser.
What is the recommended surgery and why?
A Phacoemulsification is preferred option
followed by foldable artificial lens. It
is a stitch less, painless procedure with
no bandage required. Local anesthetic drops
are used (for soft cataract) instead of
an injection in the eye, thus leading to
walk-in, walk-out procedure. Minimum curvature
changes occur in the cornea following surgery.
Post surgery, the wound is self sealable
and very secure. Early visual rehabilitation
for the patient occurs where final glasses
may be prescribed within 2-3 weeks.

Stellaris PC - Advanced. Versatile. Different.
The Stellaris PC is a high-performance feature rich combined platform that leverages Bausch + Lomb’s history in Phaco and retinal innovation to change the surgical landscape by delivering the ultimate in Procedural Choice.
Innovative Technology for 1.8 mm Micro Incision Cataract Surgery.
Cataract removal throough the smallest possible incision can produce universal advantages, including increased wound stability, and a reduction in both endothelial cell loss and surgical induced astigmatism.
Bousch & Lomb has redefined state of art phacoemulsification wit its 1.8 mm MICS solution, delivering the fluidics control and cutting efficiency to make the procedure through a 1.8 mm incision a reality.
Vaccume-Based StableChamber Fluidics
The Vacuum Fluidics Module goes beyond “Venturi” and provides enhanced control of rise times, holding force, followability and aspiration for efficient lens removal.
- Solid chamber stability is achieved throughout the procedure for increased predictability.
- Vacuum levels of upto 600 mmHg can be delivered with steady low flow for efficient MICS.
- StableChamber tubing controls flow in high vacuum settings preferred for MICS.

The WHITESTAR Signature System
 The
WHITESTAR Signature System is more than
just the latest phaco technology — it's
an all-new surgical platform. It represents
a breakthrough in safe, easy lens removal
technology that combines the safety of revolutionary
Fusion Fluidics with the optimized cavitation
of WHITESTAR Technology which makes it a
versatile option to remove both hard and
soft lenses.
Fusion Fluidics provides increased chamber
stability and safety to ensure better patient
outcomes.
- Fusion Fluidics surge-prevention
technology allows the use of high vacuum
and flow settings to reduce phaco time
and increase efficiency
- Improves chamber stability by anticipating
occlusions and preemptively adjusting
vacuum before occlusion breaks
- Provides precise, low-flow parameters
for complicated cases
- Safety at high vacuum is maintained.
The WHITESTAR Signature System now combines
Ellips Transversal Ultrasound with the cutting
efficiency of WHITESTAR Technology for a
revolution in lens removal safety.
Ellips adds a horizontal component to the
traditional longitudinal movement of the
phaco needle, creating an elliptical cutting
pattern. By incorporating two directions
of movement (lateral and longitudinal),
the efficiency to cut the nuclear material
is enhanced. Moreover, it also has the potential
to reduce the repulsion of material away
from the phaco tip, improving followability
of fragments and reducing the jackhammer
effect. Thus transversal ultrasound is less
traumatic for the eye, delivering less energy
with less irrigation fluid and less damage
to the endothelium compared to conventional
longitudinal phaco.
