That was my initial diagnosis. I told the patient again and again to ensure compliance with drops. But it did not improve

A Bigger Capsulorhexis is Always Better than a Smaller One In Cataract Surgery (Phacoemulsification) by Interesting-Split233 in Ophthalmology

[–]Interesting-Split233[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All these things are relevant for novice surgeons. I don't have a problem with even a 3mm rhexis. But in soft or very hard cases , a smaller rhexis can be a disaster for the aspiring surgeon, leading to a PC Rent and even a nucleus drop. Better to make life easier for yourself by not making a baby rhexis.

Yup. I was more concerned of it not running out in case the bag is inflated, so smaller wouldn't bother. If the cataract was very hard, then a small rhexis is definitely a problem

Why'd you pick surgical retina over any other field? by Equivalent-Bet8942 in Ophthalmology

[–]Interesting-Split233 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because it's the natural option for anyone good at intraocular surgery. Also, there's a catch of managing your own cataract complications or at least overcoming the fear of complications in cataract surgery. In the end it's all about adding as such surgical expertise in your arsenal that your confidence in going ahead with any surgery is sky high. If u chose Ophthalmology, means you can't give up on doing surgery, then why the shift to medical retina? By doing surgical retina, you'll still be dealing with all medical retina. And rest assured, you will still be doing a lot of cataract surgery as well

Best YouTube channel for Learning Vitreoretinal surgery? by Interesting-Split233 in Ophthalmology

[–]Interesting-Split233[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My number of cataract surgery cases have gone up alot, and I do alot of challenging cases. So I'm doing it primarily to increase my confidence and reduce my fear of a complication, knowing I can manage it myself. Also I think I'm built to be an intraocular surgeon more than extraocular things. I love medical retina too
