Many anterior segment surgeons, trained primarily to perform phacoemulsification, have relatively little experience with manual small incision cataract surgery ( MSICS). The ability to perform MSICS, however, should be in every cataract surgeon’s skill set. In select cases with extremely dense nuclei and/or endothelial dystrophy, a well-performed MSICS procedure can provide a superior surgical option to phacoemulsification. This video describes a step-by-step approach to manual small incision cataract surgery that can be easily learned and successfully performed by any experienced phaco surgeon.
