Teaching modern techniques of cataract and intraocular lens implant
surgery and corneal transplant surgery in underdeveloped and underserved
countries.
I take great satisfaction in rapid visual rehabilitation of patients
with a cataract and/or corneal disease. This requires exacting surgical
procedures and a team approach. The process includes assessment of
the patient’s complaint, accurate measurement of the eye by a qualified
ophthalmic technician to calculate the intraocular lens power that
will be placed in the eye at the time of cataract surgery, and an
expert nursing staff in the operating room to operate complex ophthalmic
equipment with precision in cataract surgery and corneal transplant
surgery. My responsibility is to ensure that this is all possible.
I personally perform a complete eye examination on all my patients
prior to surgery. I have trained my ophthalmic technicians to place
the highest priority on calculating the correct intraocular lens power
to be used in cataract surgery. I have worked closely with the anesthesiologists
to establish a system of topical anesthesia for cataract surgery,
which allows for rapid visual rehabilitation. I have ensured that
the nurses in the operating room have expertise in operating ophthalmic
surgical instruments.
All this allows me to employ the latest surgical techniques in cataract
and intraocular lens-implant surgery and/or corneal transplant surgery.
I know that surgery is a stressful time for you and your family, so
I want to provide you with the most pleasant, worry-free experience
that is possible. |
