Take in Episode 5 of Ophthalmology Quicksand Chronicles—Eureka Moments!
Ophthalmology Quicksand Chronicles—Eureka Moments! is bringing you Episode 5, an interview with Nandini Venkateswaran, MD. In this episode, the podcast’s hosts, Nicole Fram, MD, and Elizabeth Yeu, MD, hear how Dr. Venkateswaran approached an aborted cataract surgery with iris prolapse and an open capsule.
The original surgeon closed up the eye early due to increased intraoperative pressure and anterior chamber shallowing. Dr. Venkateswaran later stepped in and with meticulous planning, from anesthesia to iris management to IOL choice and placement, demonstrated how to make this complex case routine.
