Posterior Polar cataracts are a nightmare for the most experienced surgeons. The biggest challenge is to prevent intra-operative posterior capsular (PC) dehiscence. This film showcases how modern bio-imaging (Optical coherence tomography) can help in pre-operative detection of a PC defect, and possibly increase safety during phacoemulsification, through femtolaser & bio-imaging guided surgery.
