A patient with severe Bell’s phenomenon undergoes cataract-implant surgery. Techniques that overcome this problem are demonstrated. During the procedure, excessive sideport leakage is recognized and
A trifocal IOL is inserted following routine cataract-implant surgery.
The rationale for selection of fluidic parameters during nucleus sculpting and segment removal, retained nuclear fragments and the prevention of same, and IOP during phacoemulsification
Implantation of a toric trifocal IOL is performed in a 68 year old patient who wishes spectacle independence.
Removal of a very opaque infantile nuclear cataract is performed in a 60 year old patient.
This highly myopic patient is very sensitive to elevated IOP during phacoemulsification, and requires an adjustment of fluidic parameters.
Phacoemulsification and IOL insertion is performed in an eye with evidence of zonular laxity and intraoperative infusion misdirection syndrome.
Phacoemulsification is performed in an eye with a pre-existing convexanterior capsule.
The Do’s and Don’ts of phacoemulsification in an eye with a dense PSC cataract are discussed and demonstrated.
A severe Bell’s phenomenon is noted at the beginning of the cataract-implant procedure. Modification of the surgical technique is then done in order to overcome

Richard Mackool MD, a world renowned anterior segment ophthalmic microsurgeon, has assembled a web-based 3D video collection of both routine and challenging cases, demonstrating both familiar and potentially unfamiliar surgical techniques using a variety of instrumentation and surgical console parameters. This educational activity presents a series of these 3D videos, carefully selected to address the specific learning objectives of this effort, with the goal of providing 3D surgical training videos online to surgeons motivated to improve or expand their surgical knowledge.
