Symposium: Cataract surgery OVDs

Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) in cataract surgery and complications

Sunday June 21, 1045-1215
Carson C

Instructor

Steve A. Arshinoff MD

This course will consist of a slide and video presentation of rheologic properties, classification, and varied utilization techniques for different OVD types. New OVDs, recent discoveries, and principles and techniques to prevent and manage complications and post operative IOP spikes will be covered. Ample opportunity for discussion will be available.

OBJECTIVE

  • Attendees will gain insight into the rheological and surgical behaviour, choice and optimal use of OVDs, which can enhance their skills in surgery and complications
