Abstract

Cataract is a major cause of blindness (BCVA<3/60) globally. A prospective study was conducted for one year where senile cataract patients were scheduled to undergo routine cataract surgery. Manual SICS with PCIOL were performed through an unsutured scleral tunnel incision. Post operatively all were given oral antibiotics for 1 week, topical steroids for 6 weeks and cycloplegics for 1 week. Patients were followed up on post operative day 1, 2nd week and 6th week. Out of 242 patients 128(52.89%) were male, 114 were female (47.1%). 175(72.3%) were aged more than 60 years. 67(27.68%) were aged 40-60 years. 162(66.94%) had immature cataract , 80(33.05%) had mature cataract. Postoperative visual acuity after 6 weeks was 6/12 or better in 196(80.9%). BCVA was 6/9 or better in (94.2%). MSICS is an effective, safe economic procedure where visual rehabilitation has been achieved fast with moderate astigmatism. It should be considered as an effective alternative of phacoemulsification .[advanced_iframe src="https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/embed.aspx?src=https://aiosproceedings.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/2021/E-Poster/FP1945.pptx" width="100%" height="608"]
