  Explantation and secondary IOL video course Pre Requisite Course

  Leader: C. Mehta | Course Level: Intermediate

• Faculty:    J. Bovet   K. Mehta   R. Packard   S. Arshinoff     

  This is a pre-requisite course for the wetlab(s):

  COURSE DESCRIPTION: : Just imagine dealing with the following scenarios; OOPS, the capsules ripped, the IOL fell in! IOL power calculation went wrong! This patients aphakic in one eye, the IOL is on the ciliary body. We can safely implant and explant secondary lenses through a small incision using new IOL cutters to explant and glues, 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.
  
  COURSE OBJECTIVES: : 1.How to explant an IOL safely and atraumatically by either cutting it in the anterior chamber 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
