Microincisional Phaco Pearls from Dr. Elizabeth Davis
In a conversation with Dr. David Goldman, Dr. Elizabeth Davis outlines recent improvements in microincisional coaxial phacoemulsification and shares her wisdom on phaco techniques. The trend is toward decreasing incision size. This is a result of better viscoelastics (VSDs), antibiotics, NSAIDs, steroids, and advancements in foldable IOLs. Adoption of bi-axial phaco in the US was slow for a host of reasons. The move toward coaxial-MICS: no real technique change is required. The sub 2.0 coaxial phaco fluidics enhancements have allowed for better followability and control, reduced phaco energy, while allowing (Read more...)
