Episode 46: Stabilizing the Nucleus
While performing phacoemulsification on a dense nuclear cataract in a 91 yo, one-eyed, Flomax patient, the nucleus is observed to shift somewhat posteriorly. During the remainder of this complex procedure I demonstrate techniques that can be used to increase safety as the remaining nuclear and cortical material are successfully removed prior to implantation of a capsular tension ring and toric IOL.
