Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Cataract surgery is a common procedure to restore vision.
  • Microincisional techniques aim to reduce surgical trauma and improve recovery.
  • Bimanual approaches offer an alternative to coaxial phacoemulsification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the challenges and advancements in bimanual microincisional cataract surgery.
  • To assess the current literature on this evolving surgical technique.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent scientific literature on bimanual microincisional cataract surgery.
  • Analysis of technological developments in phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) insertion.

Main Results:

  • Successful application of bimanual microincisional cataract surgery across major phacoemulsification platforms.
