ABSTRACT
It is interesting that CCC developed after Phacoemulsification was invented. And similarly SICS came into existence after Phacoemulsification. Two vital steps in SICS are wound construction and Nucleus management. Both these steps also differ a great deal from Phacoemulsification surgery. Just as Phacoemulsification surgery aims at management of various types of nuclei using minimum energy, SICS has many variations to tackle the nucleus with smallest possible size of wound and with minimum damage to the endothelium of cornea and the posterior capsule.
