8. Pseudoexfoliation in Cataract Surgery (Dr. Deepak Megur)

In a patient with pseudoexfoliation, there is a heightened chance of zonular laxity that could cause the surgery to be more challenging. While most of us can recite the general tenets of how to manage these cases in theory, it can be much more challenging when dealing with the situation practically. How can we predict pre-operatively whether there will be significant zonulopathy? How might we minimize zonular trauma in such cases of zonulopathy? Dr. Deepak Megur joins the podcast to share pearls regarding preoperative assessment, capsulotomies, hydrodissection, nucleus disassembly, and use of capsular tension rings.Dr. Deepak Megur's YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@DrDeepakMegurBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/blind-spot-the-eye-doctor-s-podcast--5819306/support.
