8.1 MICS Intraocular Lenses

Jorge L. Alió and Pawel Klonowski

Core Messages

ßAll micro-incisional cataract surgery (MICS) lenses can be injected through 1.5–1.8 mm

incision or less

ßOnly one lens – ThinOptX MICS intraocular lens (IOL) – can be injected through 1.1 mm

incision

ßOptical quality of MICS IOLs are equal to or better than standard surgery IOLs

ßClinical data suggest that MICS with MICS IOLs can improve refractive result and optical

quality of the eye, thanks to the improved quality of the corneal optics obtained with MICS.

8.1.1 Introduction

Modern innovations in cataract surgery take all the ideas from the Kelman idea of the phacoemulsification lens removal technique and intraocular lens (IOL). Thanks to foldable lenses in the mid-1990s, the incision could be diminished to 2.75 mm. At the end of the twentieth century, new surgical techniques were invented which diminished the incision to 1.5 mm. Today micro-inci- sional cataract surgery (MICS) can diminish the incision size to 0.7 mm. To achieve these incisions, new surgical tools were used and the system of the lens

fragmentation and the active use of fluidics were changed. Foldable lenses have to be adapted for such a small incision. Surgery today is feasible through sub-1mm incision. However, MICS currently uses an incision size of 1.7 mm due to the limitations caused by the evolution of the lenses. The minimization of incision is the consequence of a natural evolution of the cataract surgery technique. MICS IOLs should accomplish the following conditions in order to fit adequately into modern cataract surgery:

Be implantable through a sub-1.5–1.7 mm incision or less

Not suffer any structural or optical changes after folding, injecting and unfolding

Not induce additional optical phenomenon: halo, glare, aberrations

Have high in-the-bag stability

Have high biocompatibility index

Not induce posterior capsule opacification (PCO)
