I think we need to focus on the primary purpose of the Eyetube Journal Club which is education. The comments regarding the efficiency of the Stellaris system or the coating capability of Viscoat are to benefit those who face similar cases. We can and should use different phaco systems as well as different viscoelastic products, with the goal of determining what is best in our hands for our patients. Like many other surgeons, I have lectured for a number of companies. My personal preference for the Stellaris and Viscoat is simply based on a great deal of experience. It has nothing to do with any inducements for the companies behind these products. I think we all should encourage the industry to continue to improve the existing technologies and develop new products that will enable us to better serve our patients. I have not been paid by Alcon nor by B+L for any of these comments, though I do currently serve as a member of the US Advisory Board for B+L.

are you implying dr aker is paid by stellaris? if not, why cant he give his opinion about it? if he is paid by stellaris, he is obligated to tell us.

How do you configurate your parameters for cases like these?

Geez, now he's using this to advertise the stellaris instead of presenting cases for education. In the other cases he put on here he demonnstrated poor judgement in what he did for the patient
