    This study introduces a universal trapezoidal wound for small incision cataract surgery. This technique offers the benefits of a 3.0 mm incision while accommodating lenses up to 5.2 mm.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Small incision cataract surgery aims for minimal incision size for faster recovery.
    • Practical limitations often necessitate incisions larger than the ideal 3.0 mm.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel universal trapezoidal wound for small incision cataract surgery.
    • To achieve the benefits of a 3.0 mm incision with flexibility for various intraocular lens (IOL) sizes.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and description of a universal trapezoidal wound design.
    • Evaluation of the wound's astigmatic neutrality.
    • Assessment of its compatibility with small incision lenses up to 5.2 mm.

    Main Results:

    • The described trapezoidal wound is astigmatically neutral.

  • It provides the advantages of a 3.0 mm incision.
  • It accommodates IOLs requiring incisions of 5.2 mm or less.

    • Conclusions:

    • The universal trapezoidal wound is a versatile technique for small incision cataract surgery.
    • It bridges the gap between ideal incision size and practical IOL requirements.
    • This method enhances surgical outcomes in cataract procedures.
