Cataracts are one of the most common eye conditions in India, especially among older people. A cataract forms when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision and difficulty seeing clearly. Over time, cataracts can worsen, and surgery becomes the best option to restore clear vision. If you’re in Delhi and looking for the best cataract surgeon, Dr. R.P. Singh at Visitech Eye Centre is the expert you can trust.
MICS (Micro Incision Cataract Surgery) is the latest, advanced method for cataract surgery. It involves a tiny incision (less than 2 mm) to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear artificial lens. The procedure is quicker, safer, and allows for faster recovery compared to traditional cataract surgery. MICS Cataract Surgery in Delhi is becoming more popular due to its minimally invasive nature, less risk of infection, and quicker return to normal activities.
Dr. R.P. Singh is widely regarded as the best cataract surgeon in Delhi, specializing in MICS cataract surgery. With years of experience and advanced training, he ensures precise, safe, and successful surgeries. Here are some reasons why Dr. R.P. Singh is the preferred choice:
Phacoemulsification is the traditional modern cataract surgery method. In this procedure:
A small incision (about 2.2 to 2.8 mm) is made in the cornea.
An ultrasonic probe is used to break the cloudy lens (cataract) into small fragments.
The fragments are gently suctioned out.
An intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted in place of the natural lens.
Recovery is usually quick, and stitches are often not required.
MICS is a more advanced version of phacoemulsification. The key difference? The incision is even smaller—typically less than 2 mm.
Everything else—from the ultrasonic breakup of the cataract to IOL placement—is similar to phaco. But because the incision is smaller, there’s less trauma to the eye, and recovery can be even smoother.
