This video shows a very challenging cataract surgery in an elderly women with a brunescent extremely dense cataract, advanced Fuchs corneal dystrophy with pronounced Descemet membrane folds and corneal edema, and a poorly dilating pupil.
By using careful and patient chopping techniques, while controlling the phaco needle movement inside the small pupillary area, the case was completed without the need of any pupil expanding devices and with no significant worsening of the corneal dystrophy and a very significant improvement in visual acuity was achieved!
We hope you enjoy this complex case managed with "routine" surgical technique!
