What is it about?
The article describes an easier technique of small incision cataract surgery with equally good results as with other technique. The surgery is done without superior rectus stitch, conjunctival flap or cautery and hence the technique might open the way for SICS under topical anaesthesia.

Why is it important?
One can eliminate the steps of bridle stitch, conjunctival flap and cauterisation during surgery and self sealing tunnel can be made in single step by keratome as done for phaco but at the posterior limbus and extended in second step. The technique is as effective, easy, less time consuming and eliminate the complications of these additional step.
