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.
A nanophthalmic eye with a miotic pupil, posterior synechiae, lax zonule and floppy iris undergoes pars plana vitrectomy in order to deepen the anterior chamber
Removal of a dislocated crystalline lens with suturing of a capsular tension ring segment and salvage of the lens capsule for IOL fixation is demonstrated.
A method to reverse pupil constriction that develops during phacoemulsification is demonstrated.
This procedure features PE, trifocal IOL implantation, and full-thickness “penetrating” limbal relaxing incisions.
Routine phacoemulsification and IOL insertion is performed, during which methods to prevent the complication of retained lens fragments are demonstrated and discussed.
Phacoemulsification is performed in an eye with previous trabeculectomy, a miotic pupil and posterior synechiae.
