Moorfields Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS)

Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) is the most widely performed cataract extraction technique worldwide, particularly in resource-limited settings. It is also gaining recognition in the Western world for managing complex cases, offering key advantages over traditional extracapsular cataract extraction: it is sutureless, self-sealing, and associated with fewer postoperative complications, such as astigmatism and corneal damage.

This course (Moorfields MSICS Training Course) will be delivered by experienced faculty, and offers a comprehensive hands-on simulation-based experience for delegates seeking to develop or refine their surgical skills in this technique.

Participants will benefit from video presentations that cover each surgical step in detail and wet lab experience and feedback with two artificial eyes.
