S02E06: Surgery and Complications - Presbyopia Correction at the Time of Cataract Surgery
Manage episode 324503074 series 3011796
This is episode 6 of our 7-part series on getting started with presbyopia correction at the time of cataract surgery. So far, we’ve discussed options for correcting presbyopia, patient selection and optimisation, astigmatism correction, assessing corneal tomography and patient conversations and consent. So, now we are finally up to the surgery.
In this episode, Dr Jacqueline Beltz and Dr Andrea Ang discuss optimising surgical techniques for presbyopia correction as well as managing complications. Even though these cases are often not the most complex cataract surgeries that we do, of course, complications will still occur, and it can be difficult when a patient is expecting presbyopia correction.
Andrea is a cornea, cataract and refractive surgeon in Perth, WA where she is also Director of Training for RANZCO WA. Andrea graduated with the gold medal in medicine from UWA and also has a Masters in Public Health from Harvard. Andrea is double fellowship-trained in Cornea – she did this training at Cincinnati Eye Institute and Singapore National Eye Centre, giving her a really broad and interesting experience.
