COS-4 The COS surgical teaching series (STS) 2014

Advanced phaco techniques

Thursday, June 5
1545-1715
Room: 200 CD

The COS-STS is a multimedia, practical-based program focused on advances in surgical techniques for the general ophthalmologist. This year's focus is on advanced techniques in phacoemulsification.

Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Understand and improve surgical skills in advanced phacoemulsification techniques including phaco chop, flip, and hemi-flip
• Review strategies in managing the soft lens and the dense brunescent cataract
• Review specific instrumentation

NOTE: This is a didactic course corresponding to this year's cataract surgery skills transfer workshop.

Program

• Understand phaco power and fluidic parameters
• Intrumentation
• Phaco chop
• Phaco flip and hemi-flip
• The soft lens
• The dense brunescent lens
• The intumescent lens
