FULL STOP SURGERY

Why do I want to choose a MIL for my patient?
Really does it justify, really is it worth are the questions which I asked myself.
Never before it was possible, to do a complete cataract surgery thru, less than 2 mm wound, thus bringing the cataract surgery to a new level and the procedure known as MICS - Microincision cataract surgery.
MIL is truly, a new generation advanced optic lens. MIL has changed the way of cataract surgery. It is possible to do cataract surgery thru less than 2 mm -"punctures". Thus making the incision smaller, more stronger and secure with less chances of infection.

AKREOS AO MICRO INCISION LENS
Smaller incisions or "punctures", which are rapid healers and self sealing wounds thus any mechanical compression to the eyeball does not result in eyeball collapse or opening of wounds, so microincision surgery entails not only strength, stability but also more safety than the common foldable phaco lens.

Earlier wound healing means visual recovery to 100%, the same day person is back to normalcy and routine activity. Can we imagine watching movies, television, computers, mobile usage, kitchen work, virtually normal life within hours of surgery, making cataract surgery simpler, easy and hassle free.

MIL lens design recently has been awarded the "GOLD award" for design excellence. The lens technically centres very well, resists the capsular biomechanical stress as it has a special absorption zones built in the lens haptic. This feature of the lens is unique unlike the other Micro incisions lenses, which over years "wrinkle" inside the eye as unable to withstand the capsular stress.

The image quality of MIL is exceptional due to aspheric nature of the lens, aberration free optics and the antiglare technology, thus making night vision and low light illumination far superior then conventional lenses.
This lens is of soft acrylic material and is safe, biocompatible and has good elasticity and flexibility to squeeze past thru a sub 2mm incision with the help of a special injection device.
Special 360o square edge of the lens, help to keep away the lens epithelial opacifications behind the lens optics, thus the clarity of the optics is not compromised for long.

When I first did MICS with MIL, about one and half years back, I was one of early few in the world, to have an opportunity to insert the MIL, I was shear amazed by not only the lens design, technology but more so, the ease with which it squeezed past a 1.8 mm puncture wound and the ability of the lens to unfold in the eye and self center. To my mind, MIL from Bausch and Lomb is a lens genius and truly a "IOL innovation empowering" the quality of vision. A huge leap in the visual enhancement technology.
