It is nowadays well admitted that a perfect incision in microincision (means size inferior to 2 mm) is crucial: for easy manipulation in the eye, anterior chamber stability during surgery, self sealing without suture and no induced astigmatism. This presentation will focus on incision architecture including location, size, shape and self sealing. We will provide some practical tips and tricks for performing a corneal incision as perfect as possible, which is the key for a successful MICS, whatever a bimanual (B‐MICS) or coaxial approach (C‐MICS).
