Sideways Softshell Technique for Angle-Based Surgery

Manjool Shah, MD

Show Description +

[No narration] A softshell technique serves to protect the corneal endothelium and tamponade any heme reflux that may occur in angle-based surgery. With a standard softshell technique, gonioscopic visualization may be distorted from the resultant interface between the two disparate OVDs. A useful way to avoid this is by performing a “sideways” softshell technique, as shown here.
