Millions of people worldwide are blind from mature cataracts. The developing countries cannot afford expensive modern technologies to treat these cases. A cost effective, fast, machine independent procedure is necessary The purpose of this study is to describe such a technique, little known in Poland--manual small incision cataract surgery (SICS), where the whole nucleus is removed through a self-sealing sclero-corneal tunnel. Within the last several years SICS has become the main way of cataract removal in underserved populations of Asia, with Nepal as an example. Thus, the developing countries have developed a cost effective alternative to phacoemulsification with a very good clinical outcome.
全球数以百万计的人因成熟白内障而失明。发展中国家无力承担治疗这些病例所需的昂贵现代技术。因此，需要一种经济高效、快速且不依赖机器的手术方法。本研究的目的是描述一种在波兰鲜为人知的技术——手法小切口白内障手术（SICS），即通过自封闭巩膜隧道切口将整个晶状体核取出。在过去几年中，以尼泊尔为例，SICS已成为亚洲医疗服务不足地区白内障摘除的主要方式。因此，发展中国家已经开发出一种经济高效的替代超声乳化术的方法，且临床效果非常好。
