If you are a resident, fellow, or young surgeon who has done fewer than 500 cataract surgeries, then you owe it to yourself to learn from our large series of resident cases, our free CataractCoach book (PDF file here), and our full 25 part curriculum series. These are free resources that will help you succeed in your career! Today we feature a resident performing horizontal chop as case 100. The skills are excellent and will get better with time. Younger surgeons today have an advantage compared to yesteryear since there is a virtually endless supply of online resources to shorten the learning curve. While this is case 100 for this resident, this level would have been about case 250 for a surgeon from twenty years prior. The new generation of surgeons are on track to be the most incredible surgeons in the history of ophthalmic surgery!
