iStent Placement Prior to Cataract Extraction

Show Description +

Constance O. Okeke, MD, describes her technique for iStent placement prior to cataract extraction. Here, she notes that use of a smaller initial temporal incision and a dispersive viscoelastic yields a more stable anterior chamber, better corneal view, and no hypotony leading to excessive bleeding once the trabecular meshwork is pierced.
