Controlled depth knife is mainly used for a precise depth first scleral incision (initial groove) while using the small incision cataract surgery (SICS) or the phacoemulsification (Phaco) technique for the cataract surgery of the eye. Controlled depth knife is also used for making the clear cornea groove incision and limbal relaxation incision (LRI). Precise incision helps improve the surgical outcome for the patient by reducing the recovery time and causing less post-operative trauma.
