100 FF5-07 Bubble Rhexis Ronaldo BADARO Brazil Trypan blue dye has been used with great success in the past 26 years. Video highlights a new technique for anterior capsulorhexis using trypan blue staining not requiring the need of expensive technology and available to any surgeon. FF5-08 Demystifying Defocus Curves in Presbyopia Correcting IOLs Sheetal BRAR India Defocus curves are essential tools for evaluating the performance of presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs), yet they often confuse general ophthalmologists and trainees due to complex interpretations. This educational film demystifies defocus curves by explaining their generation and key principles of interpretation. Through clear animations and clinical examples, it compares curves across monofocal, multifocal, trifocal, and extended depth-of-focus IOLs, highlighting depth of focus, peaks, and troughs. Emphasizing practical relevance, the film guides patient counseling, IOL selection, and managing expectations for spectacle independence. Tailored for general ophthalmologists and fellows, it empowers evidence-based decisions in premium cataract surgery. FF5-09 Support, Stabilize, & Secure: Management of a dislocated IOL using needleassisted levitation and segment ring centration Elizabeth Aileen GILLER Philippines A 60-year-old male presented with fluctuating vision due to a posteriorly dislocated IOL-capsular bag complex. Initial stabilization with capsular hooks was not feasible because of a significant posterior displacement of the bag. A 30-gauge needle was used to gently elevate the IOL–capsular bag complex, allowing successful capsular hook engagement and stabilization. A capsular tension segment was then implanted to support the nasal zonular defect, followed by scleral fixation with 6-0 Prolene suture and flange creation. This surgery highlights a simple yet effective method for managing posteriorly displaced capsular IOL-bag complexes using needle-assisted levitation combined with scleral fixation of a capsular tension segment, all the while preserving the existing IOL-bag complex. FF5-10 The Art of Macular Peeling Dhaivat SHAH India Macular peeling is a delicate retinal surgery that blends anatomical insight with surgical finesse. This abstract proposes a four-point framework—planning, initiation, execution, and judgment—to guide safer, more consistent internal limiting membrane (ILM) and epiretinal membrane (ERM) peels in vitreomacular interface disorders. Based on diverse surgical experience, the method emphasizes: (1) Plan with Purpose—using OCT to define peel zones and vectors, (2) Create, Don’t Grab—gentle flap initiation tailored to tissue compliance, (3) Peel with Poetry—smooth, rhythmic motions for optimal outcomes, (4) Preserve the Fovea, Preserve the Future—exercising restraint near the fovea to prevent trauma. This structured yet artistic approach in the video emphasizes not just technical skill, but surgical intuition and tissue respect—transforming routine peels into refined retinal craftsmanship.
