Uday Devgan's video: Posterior Polar Cataract Surgical Technique - Uday Devgan MD Los Angeles Eye Surgeon

This is a young patient, still in her 40s, who developed worsening vision when her posterior polar cataracts became worse, leading to the spoke-like opacities that are seen radiating from the center of the posterior plaque. In these eyes, we must be careful because the posterior capsule is weak and fragile and surgeons cannot use the standard technique of cataract surgery. Here we use the visco-dissection technique to carefully remove the cataract while protecting the posterior capsule. Dr Devgan's instructional video of this technique won the Grand Prize at the Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology meeting in 2005 and it has been viewed by thousands of ophthalmologists.
