6. The White Cataract (Dr. Brian Kim)

Even for the more experienced surgeon, a white cataract likely raises their adrenaline level just a tiny bit. Perhaps the biggest concern is – what if I start operating, and I get the dreaded Argentinian flag sign? Or less dramatic, what if the rhexis starts running out and the case becomes more complicated than expected? The reality is, white cataracts can be tough. But are there certain ways to predict when a white cataract might be more complex? What are some effective techniques that can help us maneuver a challenging capsulorhrexis that seems to want to run out to the zonules? Dr. Brian Kim joins the podcast to share pearls on operating on white cataracts.
