Course Description
This course is a combination of technique and technology to perform surgery in patients with extremely dense rock-hard, white and brown cataracts which is very challenging. These lenses are hard to maneuver and typically occupy a larger volume. The lens capsule is thin fragile and zonules are weak hence require longer phaco time. This course covers chopping techniques, management of small pupils, zonular dialysis and subluxated hard cataract.
Educational Objective
This video based course will highlight the important tips to overcome the hurdles during cataract surgery which will guide us to get the best outcome.
