About us
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF MANUAL SMALL INCISION CATARACT SURGEONS (ISMSICS) is an organization to promote excellence, accessibility and in cataract surgery. The organization aims to improve outcomes of cataract surgery, provide better vision to more patients at an affordable cost. The organization is surgeon focused and surgeon driven: of, for and by the cataract surgeons. ISMSICS is dedicated organization to the research and development in the field of cataract surgery, especially manual small incision cataract surgery, to make cataract surgery more accessible, affordable and give the patient the best of vision.
Long long ago, Sushruta (India) started suture less and no anaesthesia cataract surgery out of compulsion. Now also we are doing suture less and no anaesthesia cataract surgery but not out of compulsion but out of choice. Though the concept remains the same evolution of two methods have undergone a quantum change.
Last two decades have witnessed major advances in the techniques of Phacoemulsification. There were also parallel developments in the field of MSICS. Infact MSICS threw of more variations in techniques compared to Phacoemulsification. Learning curve for MSICS is more painful, but training programs are very few.
To bridge this gap, ISMSICS is here. Surgeons, especially those from underdeveloped and developing countries always feel left out in the machine dominated cataract surgery, now in ISMSICS these surgeons can give expression to their aspirations and achievements. Phaco surgeons also can look upon MSICS as an additional tool in there armamentarium, which will help them tide over certain tricky situations. ISMSICS has stalwarts from developed as well as developing countries as patrons. Most of the office bearers are experts in MSICS as well as Phacoemulsification. While the focus of the organization is on manual SICS, we recognize that phacoemulsification with foldable lens is the surgery of choice for many cataract surgeons. The organization strives to have the best of cataract surgery by each technique and not to belittle one or the other.
ISMSICS was born on 30th August 2005 in Mumbai. Dr. Amulya Sahu, at that time President of Bombay Ophthalmologist's Association became the founder President of ISMSICS.
1st Live surgical International meet on MSICS was held on 30th August 2005 at Wockhardt Hospital Mumbai total eight live surgery of different method of MSICS was presented.
