Dr. Durr completed his medical school and residency in Ophthalmology at the Université de Montréal. He pursued his training in glaucoma and advanced anterior segment surgery (GAASS) for two years at the University of Toronto under Dr. Ike Ahmed. He currently practices at the Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM) where he treats a variety of glaucoma pathologies, cataracts and complex anterior segment reconstruction.
His research activities touch upon novelties in glaucoma and cataract surgery. Currently, Dr. Durr has several ongoing projects on minimally invasive glaucoma surgery and novel intraocular lenses. He has published numerous articles and two book chapters. At the University, Dr. Durr teaches medical students, residents and clinical fellows. He is the current glaucoma fellowship program director.

Implantation of an IOL in the absence of capsular support remains challenging for many surgeons. Intrascleral haptic fixation using the flanged, double needle (Yamane) technique allows the surgeon to scleral fixate a 3 piece IOL in the setting of complete zonular compromise. The technique leaves the conjunctiva and sclera relatively undisturbed compared to other scleral fixation techniques while also reducing surgical time. Attendees will ga...
Cataract STC-Bi-manual Anterior Vitrectomy. Participants will gain hands-on experience in anterior vitrectomy to manage vitreous prolapse encountered during anterior segment surgery. They will gain a better understanding of machine settings to optimize fluidics for various tasks. This segment will also introduce options for secondary IOL placement. Faculty will include both experienced ca...

Course Description: This course is designed to provide a wet lab training overview in Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) for practicing ophthalmologist. MSICS has been recognized worldwide as a viable alternative to phacoemulsification for cataract surgery in resource-constrained areas. It also serves as a valuable intermediary step to mastering phacoemulsification surgery. The wet lab experience will focus on wound construction techn...
