A continuous decrease in incision size has become a significant trend in the development of cataract phacoemulsification surgery. With the advancement of surgical instruments and equipment in recent years, microincision cataract surgery has gradually become the preferred choice for ophthalmic clinicians. The purpose for decreasing incision size is to improve safety during and after surgery, minimize the change in corneal shape, and to benefit patient outcomes. Since this is a newly developing surgical approach, there are still debates on issues regarding the selection of an optimal surgical procedure for microincision cataract surgery and the most suitable incision size. With the continuous improvement in surgical techniques, ultrasound phacoemulsification equipment and the design of intraocular lenses, especially the widely increasing application of femtosecond laser for the treatment of cataract, what will be the developing trends in microincision cataract surgery in the future? This series of questions merits an in-depth discussion.
