He is a canadian pioneer in phacoemulsification cataract surgery. |
Phacoemulsification is today's preferred form of cataract removal. |
The purpose of this study was to compare the endothelial protective effects of I-Visc Phaco, a newer viscoadaptive agent, with those of Healon5 in cataract phacoemulsification. |
Phacoemulsification refers to modern cataract surgery in which the eye's internal lens is emulsified with an ultrasonic handpiece and aspirated from the eye. |
Recent reports of the use of new alternative nonpenetrating techniques in combination with phacoemulsification have given encouraging results. |
Interpretation: Combining phacoemulsification with viscocanalostomy did not have a negative effect on the IOP control achieved by viscocanalostomy alone and did not increase the complication rate. |
