Pearls and Pitfalls in Beginning Phaco (C1 Part I)
Comprehensive video-based course focused on beginner’s phacoemulsification problems and their prevention and management. Topics included wound construction, capsulorhexis and hydrodissection techniques, practice fluidics, nucleus management, subincisional cortext removal, foldable IOLs, and complications.

Advanced Techniques & Technology in Phacoemulsification (C1 Part II)
This course aimed at providing surgeons with an understanding of technology and advanced techniques that enable them to become more efficient in performing phacoemulsification. With the use of videos, surgeons were taught efficient vertical chop nuclear fracture techniques.

The equipment required for the transition to micro-incision cataract surgery (MICS) were presented during the course. Management of complex cases including hard cataracts, small pupils and subluxated lenses were also presented.
