GP007 – How to Optimise Final Visual Outcomes – A VR Surgeon’s Guide to the Cataract Surgeon

Dr. Guruprasad Ayachit

Cataract surgery complications are part and parcel of any surgeon’s practice. The most feared complications with consequences in the posterior segment are PC rent, dropped nuclear fragments, expulsive hemorrhage and endophthalmitis. At the time of the incident, surgeons can lose their cool and may not have proper equipment to manage it, ending up with sub optimal results. This instruction course aims at guiding the cataract surgeon in the initial step by step management of these complications. The dos and donts in such eventualities and the timing of referral to the VR colleague will be discussed with a view to provide the best outcomes to the patient. The IC also aims at providing a guide to the modifications required in operative techniques in special situations like coexisting diabetic retinopathy and high myopia. In a nutshell the IC is
about partnering retina practice with a view to passing the baton smoothly.
