No-touch Technique for Removal of a Dexamethasone Implant

Show Description +

John D. Pitcher III, MD, demonstrates a novel technique for removing a dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex; Allergan) that has migrated to the anterior chamber. The no-touch technique, demonstrated here in a wet-lab setting using a model eye, employs viscoelastic to minimize the need for manual manipulation.
