This resident is great because she/he cares enough to record cases and then submit a comparison of case 15 versus case 180. The improvement is great and I know that this young surgeon in training will become an outstanding surgeon in the near future. Good progress has been made as you can see in the title picture. For case 15 that capsulorhexis is too small and that could lead to issues (and does in this case). As CataractCoach says, “No baby rhexis!” lest you suffer the consequences. Case 180 is much better but there are still some small issues that need to be addressed. The most important one is to ensure that the iris is parallel to the operating room floor. In this case, I suspect that the patient is in the chin down position and that is an issue. As the saying goes, “if the chin is tucked, your case is…. tougher” 😉 What is your advice for this young surgeon in training?
