Symposium: Cataract surgery – ophthalmic viscosurgical devices, new innovations, and using them better in cataract and other surgeries
Monday, June 20, 1045-1215
Room 203, Shaw Centre
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of this session participants will be able to:
- Assess the different properties of OVDs marketed in Canada and elsewhere
- Determine which OVD class will act optimally in specific proposed surgeries
- Improve surgical techniques
- Describe the rheology of surgeries
- Manage and prevent surgical complications
- Discuss OVD descriptors such as zero-shear viscosity and cohesion-dispersion index
- Recommend an optimal OVD, or class, using descriptors
- Describe how rheology is used to design new OVDs for future procedures
FACULTY
Steve A. Arshinoff, MD, FRCSC
Optimal OVD use is fundamental for good surgical outcomes. The session will consist of a slide and video presentation of rheologic properties, classification, and varied utilization techniques for different ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) types. New OVDs, recent discoveries, and principles and techniques to prevent and manage complications and postoperative IOP spikes will be covered. Ample opportunity for discussion will be available. At the conclusion of this course attendees will have gained insight into the rheological and surgical behavior, choice and optimal use of OVDs, which will enhance their skills in surgery and complications.
