On yesterday’s CataractCoach podcast we featured renowned pediatric ophthalmologist Professor Ken Nischal MD who has pioneered surgical techniques for cataract surgery in children. His idea of the two incision push pull allows us to create a precise capsulorhexis even with the high elasticity of the pediatric lens capsule. The majority of pediatric cataract surgeries worldwide are performed by adult cataract surgeons like you and me who don’t have fellowship training specifically in pediatric ophthalmology. If you are performing cataract surgery in children, even if just a few times a year, you owe it to yourself and your patients to listen to the podcast with Professor Nischal to learn all of the important techniques.
