"TEAR HERE....CAREFULLY!! ".  A Capsulorhexis Masterclass.
Capsulorhexis is the cornerstone of  modern cataract surgery, setting the foundation for safe phacoemulsification as well as optimal IOL positioning.
This vital step has achieved critical importance in today's world of customised cataract surgery and moresoever with the advent of premium IOLs.
While a routine capsulorhexis is straightforward in ideal cases, real-world scenarios often present unique challenges. 
                                                     This Instruction course plans to address strategies for performing capsulorhexis across a plethora of varied clinical situations where a good technique can alter the outcome of the surgery.
We aim to place emphasis on pre-operative planning, fluidics control & rescue techniques in tough cases.
Through easy, reproducible practical tips, surgical videos & step-by-step approaches, this session will enhance confidence, improve control & minimise complications in complex cataract scenarios.
