ABOUT THIS COURSE

This course offers a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of Manual Small-Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS), a surgical modality of substantial global relevance and clinical efficacy. Designed for ophthalmologists with foundational to advanced experience in cataract surgery, this educational activity delves into critical aspects of MSICS, emphasizing contemporary practices for patient safety, surgical optimization, and complication management across a diverse spectrum of clinical presentations.

Participants will acquire insights into pain prevention strategies, advanced manipulation techniques, and nuanced approaches to large capsulorhexis and nuclear prolapse execution. The module rigorously addresses the safe management of nuclear fragments, and extends its focus to address intraoperative challenges such as poor pupil dilation, shallow anterior chambers, and the handling of dense cataracts, soft cataracts, and posterior subcapsular cataracts. It further provides detailed discussions on managing complications including premature wound entry, button-holing, iris prolapse, dropped nucleus, hyphema, and specific scenarios like the argentinian flag and ocular trauma. Through a series of detailed case reviews and targeted discussions, this course aims to refine surgical acumen, enhance procedural resilience, and contribute to improved visual outcomes and patient satisfaction in complex cataract surgery.
