Course Description
Course will provide an introduction to sutureless small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) for the phaco surgeon. Understanding how to perform this surgery competently is crucial when faced with challenging cases not safe for phaco, complications during phaco, or when involved with international ophthalmology. The SICS technique should be in every phaco surgeon’s toolbox. Course serves as suggested pre-requisite for MSICS skills labs.

Educational Objective
Learner should understand steps of SICS and know when and how to safely convert from phaco.
