Ophthalmologists at South Nassau Communities Hospital are using a new micro-incision ophthalmologic surgical system that allows ophthalmologists to perform cataract surgery through a single incision that is 2.2mm or smaller. Traditional, no-stitch cataract surgery requires an incision that is 33 percent larger. In addition to this latest innovation in micro-incision eye surgery, South Nassau ophthalmologists are among the first in the region to use a cataract surgery system that has three different surgical options. This allows them to develop surgical approaches that are tailored to the needs of each patient.
