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...
