ABSTRACT
Manual SICS involves the manual removal of nucleus through a scleral tunnel.1,2 To achieve this one has to safely prolapse the nucleus from the capsular bag into the anterior chamber. As is the case with most surgical techniques, this looks simple when one observes an experienced surgeon performing the prolapse. But there are few hurdles for the beginners; this does not imply that it is a difficult step. It is just a matter of learning few techniques and of course lot of practice.
