TECHNOLOGY

Cataract 2.2
Cataract 2.2 is the latest surgery technique with a smaller incision size of 2.2mm compared to previously 3.0mm incision. The older technique of ECCE where the lens was removed manually was about 10mm.

Older: ECCE	Standard 3.0	Latest Cataract 2.2
10.0mm	3.0mm	2.2mm

At VISTA, we have discontinued the ECCE technique since 2002 and are gradually phasing out the Standard 3.0 technique. We anticipate within the next 12 months, Cataract 2.2 will be performed in more than 50% of the Cataract surgery.

Faster healing process with many resume normal activities the next day
Better visual results with less risk of induced astigmatism
Less leakage risk that may lead to infection and blindness
