Microincisional cataract surgery provides benefits over standard phacoemulsification such as less induced astigmatism and quicker visual recovery. The document discusses different techniques for microincisional surgery and recommends a 2.2mm microcoaxial approach using an AcrySof IOL and OZil torsional tip, which provides wound integrity and efficiency benefits. It also notes the advantages of AcrySof IOLs such as stability, ease of use, and evidence of reduced post-operative complications like posterior capsule opacification.
