1. REMOVING VISCOELASTIC FROM BEHIND AN IOL

This video demonstrates how to remove OVD from behind the IOL during cataract surgery. By using cohesive OVD and maneuvering the I/A handpiece behind the IOL, one can achieve safe removal of all intracapsular OVD, Dr. Cervantes demonstrates. Doing so can reduce postoperative IOP spikes, refractive surprises, and capsular distention syndrome.
