When you study the analytics of CataractCoach videos, you may be surprised to find out that resident surgical cases are actually watched by more attending level surgeons than residents! This is based on the age demographic data, but safe to say that surgeons under age 30 are likely in their training while those after age 40 are not. In this video the resident does a great job of cataract surgery in an eye with a history of sclerokeratitis. A wise decision was made to avoid making a corneal incision and to use a scleral tunnel instead. If you are not well-versed in this type of incision, please review the videos here to get up to speed: https://cataractcoach.com/?s=tunnel
Another challenge in this case is visualization because of the corneal haze. In this case an endo-illumination device would be helpful to avoid light reflecting from the corneal opacities. Great job but a few important pointers for improvement. What is your best advice for this young surgeon in training? Please comment below.
