title: [Microincision cataract surgery--current state of knowledge].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Standard phacoemulsification is currently performed through a self-sealing, 2.2-2.8 mm incision. In recent years, the microincision phacoemulsification has been introduced, which constituted an important step in minimizing the surgical incision.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To present current knowledge of phacoemulsification through a microincision (C-MICS and B-MICS).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Phacoemulsification through a microincision with implantation of latest generation intraocular lenses is an important step in the evolution of cataract surgery.
