2686: Are you as good as this resident?

An eye surgery scene showing a close-up of an eye with surgical instruments. Text overlays question the viewer's skill level and highlight the quality of a surgical maneuver, labeled as 'Nice Rhexis!'

The ability for residents to learn cataract surgery has increased dramatically over the past many years due to the numerous resources such as these surgical teaching videos. In this video we have a resident performing case 60 and the skill level is impressive for so early in the learning curve. If you are a resident in training, are you at least this good? There are still some significant mistakes being made in this surgery and in this video I point out all of those issues and I offer helpful suggestions. If you are an experienced surgeon, please leave a comment below with you best advice for this young surgeon to continue improving.
