Dr. Chang shares invaluable steps and pearls to successfully complete these cases without complex suture fixation techniques or sutured capsular tension devices. Join us as Dr. Chang masterfully navigates the difficulties of generalized zonulopathy cases, including rhexis creation, lens disassembly and ideal IOL management.

Watch this episode of Ophthalmology Quicksand Chronicles where our hosts are joined by Kourtney Houser, MD. Dr. Houser is a rising star in ophthalmology. She is a talented surgeon educator and was just nominated by her peers in Ophthalmology Management in the “40 Under 40” list. In this episode, Dr. Houser will review the steps of intrascleral haptic fixation for secondary intraocular lens implantation.  She will also showcase videos of complicated scleral fixation and common challenges with intrascleral fixation such as tilt, haptic kinking and decentration. In this video analysis, tips for navigating through these quicksand moments will be highlighted. 

Watch this episode of Ophthalmology Quicksand Chronicles where our hosts are joined by Dr. Mitchell Weikert. In this episode, Dr. Weikert will showcase a complicated cataract surgery quicksand case in a patient with a mature cataract, prior pars plana vitrectomy, deep chamber, and 4 to 5 clock hours of zonular weakness. This quicksand moment demonstrates the challenges faced when trying to support the capsule during cataract removal in the presence of an extremely deep anterior chamber and zonulopathy. It also highlights the use of intraoperative gonioscopy while managing a malposition capsular tension ring. The resilience demonstrated by the challenges of this case is remarkable! This is a must-see!

Watch this episode of Ophthalmology Quicksand Chronicles, which occurred in person at the 2022 Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. Here our hosts were joined by an expert panel of surgeons—Lisa Arbisser, MD, Eva Kim, MD, and Terry Kim, MD. Each panelist shared one of their own surgical quicksand experiences and how they were able to navigate through this challenge, learning to evolve from the moment. Our panelists showcased a range of cases from routine cataract surgery gone wrong to toric ICL surgery with post-operative issues to a case of involving a handicapped patient with dense brunescent cataracts. Tune in now to watch this new episode that was recorded live at the Annual Meeting!
