I would bet that no other ophthalmologist has performed cataract surgery for more Academy Award® nominees and winners than me (The Oscars®). Forgive this bit of a humble brag, but the truth must be told when so many surgeons tout their celebrity endorsements. The fact is that the actual real celebrities do not wish to have their health information publicized. More so, these actors and actresses know a lot about acting but virtually nothing about cataract surgery. Tell me how many fellow eye surgeons have chosen you for cataract surgery on their own eyes and I will be far more impressed. Don’t show me a video of you talking about surgery — instead show me a video of your performing the surgery! This patient is a very famous actress who has been in so many different movie and television roles over the past many decades. She has very light colored blue irides and this photo shows the maximum dilation. We do not want to use any device or technique that will cause any visible iatrogenic damage to the iris or pupil margin. How would you complete this case?
