Strategies for Very Dense Nuclei and
Other Challenging and Complicated
Cases; A Video Course
Presenter: Khiun Tjia
Course Description: Course will show video clips of very dense
cataracts, zonular weakness, IFIS syndrome, very shallow anterior
chamber, and posterior capsular rupture cases, which require a
different approach than routine uncomplicated cases.
A wide range of video clips with simple and useful tips and
techniques is offered for the experienced cataract surgeon to deal
with these cases. ultrasound and torsional ultrasound power
settings, fluid dynamics settings, appropriate incision sizes and
phaco tip choice will be discussed.
Course Objective: Attendees will learn general strategy
guidelines and special techniques for challenging cataract
surgery. Specific insight in phaco tip and sleeve choice as well
as good understanding of torsional ultrasound amplitude and
fluidics settings are provided.
Target Audience: Cataract Surgeons
Educational Level: Intermediate, Advanced

SICS with Trabeculectomy: A Combined
Safe and Effective Procedure
Presenters: Sumit Choudhury, Samar Basak, Santanu Mandal
Objective: Video assisted surgical management of coexisting
cataract and glaucoma cases by small incision cataract surgery
(SICS) combined with trabeculectomy.
Summary of Content: This procedure is of much use for
ophthalmologists confident about SICS but still not comfortable
with phacoemulsification in all types of cataract cases.
The course will emphasise the steps of performing the surgery
meticulously and cost effectively in a developing country.
We will also share our experience in postoperative management
of these cases and give valuable tips to improve the success rates.

• Preoperative Assessment of Cases: Santanu Mandal
• Additional Maneuvers to Improve Quality: Sumit Choudhury
• Postoperative Management: Sumit Choudhury
• Panel Discussion

Uveitis: Basic Understanding and
Diagnostic Approaches Made Easy
Presenters: Manish Jain, Amit Nagpal, J. Biswas
Objective: To provide a basic understanding of the disease
processes and to discuss a prudent and user friendly approach
to the differential diagnosis of uveitic entities.
Summary of Content: Uveitis is a heterogeneous group of ocular
inflammatory conditions with varied presentations and often a
sight threatening prognosis. The instruction course begins by
elucidating a basic understanding of the underlying disease
processes. Disease entities are grouped into predominantly
inflammatory/ immunological, infectious with potential for
hypersensitivity, purely infectious states in either normal or
