In this case I demonstrate techniques used to remove a dense nucleus in an eye with pseudoexfoliation. Signs of Infusion Misdirection Syndrome and methods to
After first removing the anterior subcapsular cataract in a highly myopic patient, I then demonstrate the use of intraoperative aberrometry to confirm the toric IOL
In order to perform cataract surgery upon this non-English speaking patient, I first have to remove an iris-fixated anterior chamber lens implanted 11 years previous.
This case demonstrates the use of intraoperative aberrometry plus the Aphakic Refraction Technique to best determine the final IOL power in a keratoconic eye. Tips
Patience is a critically important trait for all surgeons to develop and maintain. In this patient, Dr Mackool demonstrates its value during removal of a
