Khiun Tjia MD
Show Description +
In any eye with suspected weak zonules, it is in the surgeon's best interest to create the largest feasible rhexis and chop the nucleus into small pieces. The failure to chop the nucleus into small pieces led to the iatrogenic disaster of 180º zonulolysis. In challenging and complicated cases such as zonular dehiscence or posterior capsular rupture, Dr. Khiun Tjia, MD, prefers to use very low fluidics with torsional ultrasound. With an adequate visco-shield in place, the nucleus can be safely emulsified in the anterior chamber. The elderly woman decided to remain aphakic as a +4.00 D hyperope, with excellent television and reading vision.

Congratulations for sharing management of complications. I suggest the Eyetube editors to create a Section of Surgery Complications & Management

all my respect for Dr Tjia who is so brave to show us his complication. I think a lot of us would do not dare to publish our complications on the net. I think only the best surgeons can afford to do so, my respect for Dr Tjia only increased. Thanks Khiun !
