TriMic: An Astigmatically Neutral Variation on MICS

Show Description +

Conventional microincision cataract surgery (MICS) techniques do not provide sufficiently accurate prediction of surgically induced astigmatism, and therefore we have developed a hybrid of MICS, dubbed TriMic, which eliminates the induction of astigmatism during cataract surgery. As the name indicates, three incisions are created for this MICS technique. It is the next step after bimanual or coaxial MICS.
