Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS)

Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) is a medical procedure used to remove cataracts, which cause cloudy vision. During this surgery, a small incision is made in the eye to access and remove the cloudy lens. The surgeon then typically places an artificial lens to restore clear vision. MSICS is often preferred for its simplicity and quick recovery time compared to other methods, allowing individuals to regain their eyesight efficiently. It is particularly beneficial in areas with limited resources, making cataract treatment more accessible.
