Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS)

Safe & Reliable Stitchless Cataract Removal (SICS)

Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) is a highly effective, manual technique for removing the cataract-affected lens. It uses a **scleral tunnel incision** which is typically self-sealing, meaning it often **does not require stitches**.

SICS offers a reliable, low-cost alternative to Phacoemulsification, especially for patients with very dense cataracts. Our experienced surgeons ensure maximum safety, good visual outcomes, and a quick return to routine activities.
