Routine phacoemulsification is done utilizing a straight big ball chopper.
A 45-year-old patient with light sensitivity and a very active Bell’s phenomenon undergoes phacoemulsification and IOL insertion.
An extremely myopic eye with posterior staphyloma undergoes cataract extraction. Multiple methods are employed to determine the IOL power/astigmatic status prior to IOL insertion.
The use of Trypan Blue to stain the anterior capsule is normally restricted to cataract-implant procedures. However, during IOL exchange of a diffractive multifocal IOL,
An eye with optic capture, IOL tilt and a severely deformed pupil undergoes reconstructive surgery.
Reposition and scleral fixation of an IOL that has dislocated into the anterior/mid vitreous cavity is demonstrated.
Phacoemulsification is performed on a patient with advanced corneal endothelial dystrophy. Techniques that minimize damage to the endothelium are demonstrated and discussed.
Due to a refractive surprise, an IOL exchange of a Toric IOL is performed 2 weeks after uneventful cataract-implant surgery.
A patient with more than 20 episodes of recurrent whiteout syndrome and elevated IOP undergoes pars plana vitrectomy, IOL exchange and glaucoma stent implantation.
Phacoemulsification of a brunescent-red nuclear cataract is performed in an eye with a relatively small pupil.
