2441: Cataract Hazard Perception Test

At the UKISCRS meeting in London (November 2024), I saw a presentation from a young ophthalmologist, Dr Alasdair Simpson from the University of Glasgow that I really enjoyed. He developed a brief hazard perception test consisting of 8 surgical scenarios where an experienced surgeon would recognize the issue but a beginner may not. With training (and learning from videos), we can all become more aware of these potential pitfalls and reduce our complication rate. This video shows the 8 scenarios and I give my real-time commentary which reveals the answers, so if you want to test yourself, first watch the video with the sound muted and then re-watch and hear my commentary.
