Abstract | Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of micro-incisional cataract surgery (MICS) with bimanual phacoemulsification for the management of white mature cataract. Methods: Twenty-five eyes in 25 patients with mature cataract were prospectively recruited to undergo MICS with bimanual phacoemulsification. Serial changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central corneal thickness (CCT) and endothelial cell density (ECD) were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: MICS was successfully performed in 24 (96%) of the 25 eyes, with 1 eye requiring conversion to extracapsular cataract extraction due to radial tear during continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis. The median preoperative BCVA was hand movement. On day 1 postoperatively, the median BCVA improved to 0.6 (p < 0.001 compared with baseline). All patients had BCVA of 0.6 or better at 3 months after surgery (p < 0.001 compared with baseline). The mean increase in CCT at day 1 and week 1 postoperatively was 11.5 and 7.1%, respectively. The change in mean CCT was no longer significant at month 3 postoperatively (p = 0.82). The mean reduction in ECD at 3 months postoperatively was 7.8% (p = 0.037). None of the patients developed any postoperative complications. Conclusions: MICS with bimanual phacoemulsification appeared to be a promising alterative for the management of white mature cataract.
