Every cataract surgeon remembers the steep early learning curve. These pearls, gathered from senior faculty, can help you build safe habits sooner.
First, respect the capsulorhexis. A well-centred, appropriately sized rhexis forgives many downstream errors.
Second, hydrodissect gently and completely — a mobile nucleus is a safe nucleus.
Third, keep your second instrument working; passive hands lengthen every case.
Finally, review your own videos weekly. Nothing accelerates improvement like watching your own hands with a critical eye.
