Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) under Subtenon block in Hypermature Morgagnian Cataract

A hypermature cataract is an advanced stage of cataract in which the lens becomes completely opaque, shrunken, and often liquefied, making the eye appear white or milky. This condition can lead to complications like lens-induced glaucoma, phacolytic uveitis, or even lens dislocation if left untreated. It typically results from long-standing, untreated cataracts and is more common in elderly patients, especially in areas with limited access to healthcare. Surgical intervention is the only treatment, and Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) is commonly used in such cases. SICS involves making a self-sealing scleral tunnel incision, allowing the manual removal of the dense, hardened lens. It is cost-effective, does not require phacoemulsification machines, and is well-suited for hypermature cataracts, especially in resource-limited settings. Postoperative outcomes are generally good, but the risk of complications like zonular weakness or capsular rupture is higher in hypermature cases. Early diagnosis and timely surgery are crucial to prevent vision-threatening complications. Music: Unlike Us Musician: You Are Us (from Audiio)
