This is a pre-requisite course for the wetlab(s):
COURSE DESCRIPTION: : In many situations we need to explant iols from the eye in situations like incorrect iol power calculation ,damaged iols and opaque iols.Intolerance to multifocal iols re another situation.We can safely implant and explant secondary lenses through a small incision using new iol cutters to explant ,we can use tissue glue,through the bag sutures and modified phakic lenses to implant the right lens.New forceps and scissor cutters safely slice the lens into 2 or 3 parts.the adventurous can even fold the lens in the eye for removal.inserting a secondary iol is simplified with fibrin glues,transcapsular sutures and newer fastening techniques like the hammock and other lens suspension systems.Also we can see the new spiral iol where the haptics are in the anterior chamber and the optic is in the posterior chamber.All these techniques only in video by a panel of experts
COURSE OBJECTIVES: : 1.How To Explant An Iol Safely And Atraumatically By Either Cutting It Or Folding It In The Anterior Chamber 2.Secondary Iol Implantation Techniques-This Includes Glued Fixation,Scleral Haptic Fixation,Bag Fixation Itsef And Anterior Chamber And Spiral Fixation Lenses
