2616: Filipino resident vertical chop

A close-up of an eye during cataract surgery, showing a Filipino resident practicing vertical chop techniques, with emphasis on the chopper's position.

I am so incredibly impressed with the state of ophthalmology training in the Philippines and I just spent last weekend at The Medical City Eye and Vision Institute Post-Graduate Course in Manila. The level of surgery performed here is world-class and cutting edge and the young residents are really quite amazing. These surgeons are learning the most advanced techniques and garnering great experience during their residency training program. This video shows case 50 from an anonymous resident who is trying vertical chop for the first time. Please give your input below.
