When Ms. Gargi De Sarkar (Gargi di) chose me to be the surgeon to operate on her mother’s cataracts, the circle of trust was completed.

For those who don’t know, Gargi di is the owner of cKarin Meditech — a company that provides medical grade operating cameras to almost every eye hospital in Kolkata and another 100+ all over the country. She’s also ex Alcon, B&L and Zeiss. What this means, is that she has been present in the operating theatre of over 300+ cataract surgeons watching them operate for a decade — she’s knows them all, seen them all — and after careful scrutiny has chosen me to operate on her mother. That’s a huge honour.

I chose an advanced monofocal IOL for her mother, and now she’s seeing 6/6 N10 unaided, very happy with the clarity. The surgery was done with a 2.2mm self sealing wound, 5 minutes per eye. Photo taken at POD #1 of her second eye.

Both are elated. Grateful for the trust. 🙏🏻

Why is the left side port leaking?

Though it may be quite natural to have a side port leak the excess BSS when hydrating wounds after phaco, this is an excellent photo that demonstrates the integrity of a well constructed main port incision.

First photo: gives you a good idea of the immediate intra-op picture. Well formed anterior chamber, 6mm pupil, IOL in situ and wounds well constructed.

Check next photo ➡️

Second photo: as l irrigate the eye with BSS, the main port, being a slightly anteriorly constructed bi-planar incision immediately shuts tight as the anterior chamber pressurizes while the uniplanar side port opens to leak the excess BSS.

However a 1.7-1.8mm side port cannot result in shallowing of the anterior chamber and I know that with an air tight main port, this AC will remain taught, and the IOL will continue to be well-centered when the purkinje images align.

Take home message - your main port construction is vital, so take your time to construct it, and take even more time to perfect it. Use a sharp keratome, that punctures the descemets in one go, after the intra-stromal journey, has an equal thickness between the floor and roof, and away from the visual axis.

24 hours in Lucknow for 2400+ blessings, an all-video based scientific programme experience and great company.

8 hours of video based presentations with two silent halls at i-Awadh, the annual conference of Awadh Ophthalmic Society. For those who are seeing this post on online, video based talks, provide excellent knowledge sharing when paired with a strong discussion element - put together in a masterfully crafted programme by Dr. Sudhir Srivastava sir.

My presentations - traumatic cataracts, dislocated and dangling IOLs. With some appreciation from AOS - Yuva Netra Ratna Award. And another - YO Times launch by YOSI.

YOSI - continues to play a pivotal role, to help young ophthalmologists grow, and get visible. The society represents youth energy, with driven purpose.

Extremely grateful to Dr. Sudhir Srivastava sir and Dr. Diva Kant Misra sir for the invite.

Truly a full circle moment in my life to have Mr. Gunnion, the one name at La Martiniere Schools trust me with his vision — as he underwent cataract surgery in both eyes under me. For the first time in his life, he is spectacle free, and he hasn’t aged a day!

For the few who may not know, Mr. Gunnion is a teacher of teachers, and has been instrumental in shaping the childhood of a number young minds like myself, for I believe four decades. He taught me physics, in class 10 — and morals, manners and etiquette throughout my tenure at La Martiniere.

He had cataract and astigmatism, and I corrected both during his surgery. As a teacher, his near vision is precious to him, so we gave him a full distance correction with an Advanced Monofocal Toric IOL, with functional intermediate vision.

For Martinians who may be reading this, sir is still in tip top health, teaching students and he says he is enjoying his retirement.

I spent the last three weeks operating on the Quatera 700.

Quick review: Adrenaline rush like a F1 car. 🏎️

Here are some thoughts.

The Quatera 700 isn’t for the faint hearted. It works on a venturi pump, but that’s not the entire story — the name Quate… comes from a Quattro (4 pump) membrane pump housing that the machine sends irrigating fluid into — which is arithmetically calculated and sent into, or extracted out of the eye — 2 pumps for sending fluid in and 2 pumps for collecting the fluid that leaves, one pump works , while the other fills or empties it. Since the pumps are smaller and more in number, the machine can make more micro adjustments more accurately allowing the machine to work at high flow or vacuum — not possible on peristaltic systems.

Here are my settings — IOP 50, Vaccum 600, US 50 — flow control and vacuum control mode. At these settings I was able to complete my final phaco in a soft cataract in 4:53s and 00:00:07s (7 milliseconds) effective phaco time. Impressive to say the least.

If you’re operating on a peristaltic system and you have a need for speed, flow and followability, this machine hits right. The power of demand (POD) is my favourite new feature, where the US power is automatically stopped once occlusion breaks (even if you’re at footswitch 3). Advanced power modulation (AMP) allows the machine switch from pulse US to burst US, which is also useful, but I didn’t need to use it.

Chamber stability is excellent and the machine really roars when you ramp up the vacuum in vacuum controlled or flow in flow controlled mode. You can feel the efficiency of the machine through the handpiece.

Drawbacks: 1. Only longitudinal power, I did miss torsional phaco power. 2. I don’t think there’s a machine alarm for low bottle fluid (correct me if I’m wrong). 3. POD does not work at partial occlusion at all. 4. Grip of the phaco tip could be serrated. 5. Machine may underreport the longtitudinal power used in burst mode. 6. Extremely bulky machine body.

Overall: Everyone should try to Quatera 700 because it is one of the only machines to bring true Venturi into a customised setup, where you feel each 5mmHg rise during surgery. Ep

IG in the east. ✅

Glaucoma is not my primary subspecialty interest but I do see a fair number of secondary as well as primary glaucomas.

Additionally, teaching both MS and DNB residents helps me keep stay updated on what’s happening.

I have incorporated interventional glaucoma into my practice and it is the next step in early detection, and prompt management of glaucoma patients, to prevent progression.

l’ve always believed that when it comes to surgery, both depth of knowledge and breadth of knowledge is important. I’ve focused my key surgical interests on MIGS that focus — primarily on trabecular meshwork bypass (iStents) and excisional goniotomy (KDB) and I feeling honing skills these two angle surgeries go a long way in giving patients with glaucoma a better quality of life.

Glad to be a part of the first IG Workshop in the east as well this weekend, where I’ve tried to promote MIGS to the younger crowd who have done a great job in accepting it.

Teaching this skill — surgical gonioscopy, visualisation of the TM, and then, MIGS.

What’s your experience with MIGS?
