An anonymous resident sent in this video of his/her 30th cataract surgery which was done with the divide-and-conquer technique. The video is shown at 2x speed so that we can cover a lot of teaching material in a shorter period of time. There is a tremendous amount of great learning in the video and I trust that you will take advantage of the opportunity.

hi
great teaching.I am a locum consultant from England;in my last phaco.list while removing the visco:i noticed the AC shallowing :iris prolapsing from main incision and side port and IOL coming out of Bag:I suspected two things:
1-haemorrhage as patient was on clopidegrol and had subtenone. or
2- fluid diversion to vitreous? but why:patient was not myopic/
patient was not a case of floppy iris but why this happened/we gave iv diamox /i used viscoat to reform AC and used micheol but pupil remained dilated/it took me a while to replace the iris prolapse and maintain IOL in bag.
any ideas?
thanks
