India is leading the way in cataract eye surgery techniques!

Introducing the Microphaconit procedure:

The smallest ever incision to fix a cataract with surgery was performed in full view (via big screen TV, no less) of about 300 leading ophthalmologists from all over India.

The incision [Technical info: 700 Microns] is about the size of the tip of a .5mm ball-point pen, and needed a newly invented (by the surgeon: Amar Agarwal) needle.

So that is all well-and-good, but what about the patient? What did they think?

Apparently they didn’t have any discomfort [after the 15-minute operation] and didn’t need to stay in the hospital overnight.

So far this procedure is only available in India!

Have a good one!
