2651: “My worst post-op day 1 ever”

A close-up view of an eye during cataract surgery showing the nucleus dropping. Text overlay indicates the moment is termed 'My worst Post-Op Day 1 ever' with comments about complications during the procedure.

Imagine a case that is so taxing that the nucleus drops in a monocular patient, but then it gets even worse. This is a very difficult case of a patient with exfoliation syndrome and a very dense cataract. The other eye suffered a dropped nucleus when cataract surgery was performed elsewhere and the patient went through subsequent surgeries but then had uncontrolled intra-ocular pressures which resulted in more vision loss. How would you approach this tough case? And how would you manage these post-op issues? Please comment below
