Instruction Course onCataract Surgery in Difficult Situations
Chairman:Dr. Jacob S Mathew
Moderator: Dr. Chandrakanth K S
Convenor: Dr. Sai Kumar S J
This is an era where surgical techniques have been refined to such heights that almost any unsurmountable situations in any surgical conditions especially that in the eye can be tackled with the equipments and techniques available. The same holds good in cataract surgery as well, depending on the difficult situation we can adapt either the machine assisted phacoemulsification or else go for the time tested technique of Manual SICS. Depending on the equipments and accessories available one can go for either of these two closed chamber techniques of cataract surgery while one encounters the following difficult situations with the cataract. This discussion involves the views of surgeons who are experts in both Phacoemulsification and Manual SICS, but they would be going about with their opinion as to what would be the best option in their own hands.

This programe called the Ophthalmic Premier League (OPL) will be conducted during Drishti 2010 in Cochin. This is akin to the European league games but with a difference as the OPL is connected to ophthalmology. The idea here is to have 4 teams with 4 captains. Each team will have 4 members. Each team member will be given 5 minutes to show the most challenging cataract / complication case. This will be a video based presentation. In the video the speaker will also have to show how he or she has managed this case. There will be a good discussion on each case for the remaining time. All the speakers will have to be top class who can show excellent videos. An appropriate dress code for each team will make the show lively. The bottom line is to combine education with entertainment. The judges’ decision will be final.
