My mother is having cataract surgery tomorrow. Surgeon said he will use MICS technique but he shared no details saying it is his area of expertise so let be. Now since it's about my mother's eyes I am having concerns about everything related to it. So what is MICS? And will she be given local anaesthetic or eye drops only will be sufficient to numb her vision and eyes? How long ideally does a mics lasts? Please understand my situation and advise accordingly. Thanks.
