| FI.1 | Endocapsular Ring Phaco in Lens Coloboma Producer: Sanjay K. Tekawade, MD (India) Co-producer: Bhutala, MD (India) |
| Technique of endocasular phaco with CTR for cataractous lens coloboma without vitrectomy | |
| FI.2 | Dislocation & Relocation of IOLs Producer: Wan-Soo Kim, MD (Korea) |
| This video describes the mechanism of subluxation and dislocation of implanted IOL which is placed in the bag or sulcus during previous surgeries. Surgical procedures to reposition the subluxated IOLs will be described. | |
| FI.3 | Phacoemulsification in Post Uveitic Cataract: Our Experience Producer: Vikas Mahatme, MD (India) |
| A well-dilated pupil is the gateway to smooth, easy and rewarding cataract surgery. But the surgeon is not lucky enough to sail smoothly through the well-charted path of a dilated pupil each time. Prolonged surgical time takes its toll, thereafter corneal edema, uveitis, secondary glaucoma, CME, distorted pupil leads to poor visual outcome, an unhappy patient and a frustrated surgeon. Adequate transpupillary access to the lens is essential to the success of phaco procedures especially in cases with zonular weakness. We believe that temporary papillary dilatation using flexible nylon hook iris refractors has many advantages. |

| FI.4 | Phacoemulsification in Posterior Polar Cataract Producer: Seema Deshmukh, MD (India) |
| Posterior polar cataract is a big bug bear due to the high incidence of posterior capsular rupture. Posterior polar cataracts are associated with an increased incidence of capsular rupture because of an inherent weakness of the posterior capsule at the posterior pole. We followed closed chamber technique, modifying phaco parameters, preventing fluctuation of anterior chamber during surgery, multiple quadrant hydrodelineation, and not attempted to rotate the nucleus. | |
| FI.5 | Posterior polar cataract: When it drops! Producer: Manish P. Nagpal, MD (India) Co-producer: Abhay R Vasavada, MD, Vikram Mehta, MD (India) |
| Posterior polar cataracts are predisposed to posterior capsular dehiscence during phacoemulsification leading to increased risk of nucleus drop. The video shows the occurrence of a nucleus drop, the immediate anterior chamber clean up of prolapsed vitreous and lens matter using a bimanual limbal approach, implantation of a foldable lens and the eventual 20- to 25-gauge vitrectomy with the fragmatome. The video highlights the combination of modern techniques used by anterior and posterior segment surgeons to manage a nucleus drop with the least traumatic surgery and early rehabilitation for the patient. | |
| FI.6 | The Useful Managements for Complicated Cases in Cataract Surgery Producer: Choun-Ki Joo, MD (Korea) |
| Purpose: To manage complicated cases in cataract surgery successfully. Methods: The successful management of complicated cases requires a combination of recognition, skill, and judgment. This video provides the best approach to the management of complicated cases such as zonulysis, small pupil, and hypermature cataract. In each of these cases, we made a continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis carefully and used iris retractors, trypan blue staining, and capsular tension rings. We show several tips to help in removing the nucleus, cortex without severe complications. Conclusions: Because these complications will be encountered by every cataract surgeon, a well-prepared and knowledgeable response will usually result in a successful visual outcome. |

| FI.7 | Black & White Producer: Georges Baikoff, MD (France) |
| Regarding a "Cataracta Nigra", the author illustrates a variation on the theme of Black Crystalline Lenses. An amusing subject that could prove to be very serious. | |
| FI.8 | Phacoemulsification and IOL Implantation and Pupil Shaping for Traumatic Cataract Producer: Guo Haike, MD (China) |
| The patient in the video had a traumatic cataract and iridosteresis. We operated using phacoemulsification. We inserted a strained ring into the crystalline capsule, and used a miotic agent and Healon (Advanced Medical Optics, AMO, Santa Ana, CA, USA) to facilitate IOL implantation. The IOL was secured using iris sutures. | |
| FI.9 | An Alien in the Deep Producer: S. Natarajan, MD (India) Co-producers: Syed Asghar Hussain, MD, Dharmesh Kar, MD, (India) |
| Purpose and Methods: We describe the superhuman, heroic efforts of the Operating Surgeon in rescuing the patient’s eye from the immediate threat of a sinking alien object in the depths of the vitreous, using a combined technique of IOL extraction by Pars Plana Vitrectomy followed by Scleral Fixated IOL Implantatation. Results: The dislocated PC IOL was successfully removed from within the eye. Conclusion: It is the scourge of every cataract surgeon ... an alien in its surroundings ... the infamous dislocated PC IOL in the vitreous lake! With this strategic offensive, we emerge from darkness into light ... the battle is finally won!! |
