COMPLETED MATRICULATION FROM SACRED HEART CHURCH PARK SCHOOL IN 1975 I had a complete childhood with schooling from one of the finest institutions in the country. As is well known convent education brings with it a flare to the child and close proximity with God. In any format the individual gets to think of the less fortunate and realizes the pain and anguish of our school teachers and convent nuns. I was extremely mischievous and was called out to the Principals office very often still in this developed a close camaraderie with my Principal Teacher Sister Clare. So much so that till today she remembers me fondly of tying my unruly hair in her own ribbons or admonishing me for one of my little crimes. I also happened to be the School pupil leader in the my last year occasion came on a day when I had just come back from Delhi after winning the national gold medal for swimming for 1974, and as I entered school the election had taken place in my absence, this was one of few times I saw tears (of joy) in my fathers year.

BAKEWELL, MD; AMAR AGARWAL, MS, FRCS, FRCOPHTH; AND DAVID SPALTON, FRCS, FRCP, FRCOPHTH Most surgeons have performed the capsulorhexis since its groundbreaking, simultaneous introduction in 1990 by Thomas Neuhann, MD, and Howard Gimbel, MD.1 Now, as the use of aspheric and presbyopia-correcting IOLs becomes widespread, the sizing and centration of the capsulorhexis have never been more essential. Sufficiently sized for the intend- ed IOL and adequately centered, the capsulorhexis is the framework for the production of a stable postoperative IOL/bag complex and the achievement of excellent postoperative vision.

  • Mastering Phaco Nightmares and Worst Case Scenarios: a Video Based Course
    Mastering phaco nightmares and worst case scenarios: A video based course Prof Amar Agarwal MS, FRCS,FRCOphth POSTERIOR CAPSULAR RUPTURE Any breach in the continuity of the posterior capsule is defined as a posterior capsule tear. Intrasurgical posterior capsule tears are the most common and can occur during any stage of cataract surgery. The incidence of posterior capsule complications is related to the type of cataract and conditions of the eye, increases with the grade of difficulty of the case, and furthermore is influenced by the level of experience of the surgeon. Timely recognition and a planned management, depending upon the stage of surgery during which the posterior capsule tear has occurred, is required to ensure an optimal visual outcome. COMMON RISK FACTORS FOR POSTERIOR CAPSULAR RUPTURE (PCR): 1. Intraoperative factors causing variation in anterior chamber depth 2. Type of cataract 3. Extended rhexis Intraoperative factors causing variation in anterior chamber depth Intraoperative shallow anterior chamber could be due to various reasons. It may be a tight lid speculum, tight drapes, or pull from the recollecting bag. In all the above cases, remove the precipitating factor (Remove the speculum pressure, remove the tight drapes and collecting bags). Variation in the amount of space in the anterior and posterior chambers may result from changes in the intraocular pressure (IOP) due to an alteration in the equilibrium between inflow and outflow of fluid. Diminished inflow may be secondary to insufficient bottle height, tube occlusion or compression, bottle emptying, too tight incisions compressing the irrigation sleeve, or the surgeon moving the phaco tip out of the incision, making the irrigation holes come out of the incision.

The technique also aids the surgeon with better comprehension of graft orientation and positioning (Video S1). We would like to gently bring to the authors’ attention that our work was the initial report on E-DMEK, and that this has been missed in their citation.
