Dr Abha Amin is an expert cataract, corneal, and glaucoma surgeon who does a great job with very complex anterior segment cases and ocular trauma. She gave a recent presentation where she shared pearls for these difficult cases and I was taking notes. In this podcast she explains her background and pathway including the double-fellowship training and then shares her secrets for success in conquering tough cases. We speak about one recent case where a toric IOL was dangling in the vitreous cavity and how she secured it to the sclera using the suture flange technique and even got the axis spot-on to neutralize the corneal astigmatism. That case will be featured tomorrow on CataractCoach.com

Dr Roger Zaldivar is a refractive and cataract surgeon at the Instituto Zaldivar in Mendoza, Argentina, a multi-generation ophthalmology practice. Recently he has produced an AI method of sizing phakic IOLs like the Visian ICL using image data from ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). And his practice now often prefers implanting a phakic IOL instead of corneal laser vision correction and he implants about 1000 phakic lens implants per year. In this podcast we talk all about phakic IOLs, choosing the best refractive procedure for a specific patient, and his path in ophthalmology.
