Over the past 20 years, cataract surgery has evolved from a large incision of 12mm for extracapsular extraction to a small incision of 3.0mm for ultrasound emulsification. Today, with the use of the latest ultrasound machine and matching crystals, the original 3.0mm incision can be reduced to 1.8mm, resulting in less incision damage, faster recovery, less postoperative astigmatism, and safer surgery. This surgery is suitable for all types of cataracts and can improve patients’ vision and quality of life at an earlier stage. Especially for some difficult problem cataracts, such as childhood cataract, high myopia, traumatic eye, glaucoma combined with cataract, the surgery has less damage and more prominent advantages.
At present, the latest model of Dr. Lund Stellaris ultrasound emulsifier and micro-incision Dr. Lund MI60 aspheric IOL, with skillful surgical techniques, have realized the leap of cataract surgery with micro-incision.
