  • what was that bleb at the end?

  • dear dr

    do you change ur tunnel site according to pre existing corneal astgmatism to control post op astgmatism.

  • For sutureless incisions less than 7 mm long astimatism is around 1.50 against the rule. I have been putting one stitch in all my cases since 2 years ago...this has controlled astigmatism in longer incisions...so far no expulsive hemorrhage in over 4000 cases...

  • Miguel, in your experience, at 2 months post-op ,what´s the amount of induced astigmatism with this technique ? And how much is induced if you suture the wound ? And what´s the incidence of expulsive hemorraghe ?

  • Ocular Surgery News June 2006 "Topical Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery " by Dr. Miguel Sarabia

  • ...the tri-planar valve incision is the strength of this technique...it gives excellect wound closure and minimal astigmatism...

  • yes, i agree that learning how to perform SICS is a worthwhile addition to a cataract surgeon's skills armamentarium. very cost effective too

  • just be sure you have enough viscoelastic in the ant chamber to push down the posterior cap and float the nucleus on top of the iris...

  • have helped several eye docs transition to sics...phaco surgeons who wanted a better manual technique when they go on missions...or eye docs who do not want to do phaco for various reasons..

  • thank you very much!
