86 FILM FESTIVAL (FF1) FILM FESTIVAL – CATARACT/IMPLANT SURGERY TITLE PRODUCER FF1-01 Single Handed Phaco-Autocrack Jan Bond CHAN Malaysia Introducing a new single-handed phacoemulsification technique termed "Phaco-Autocrack," used for cataract extraction in soft to moderate nuclear sclerosis. The technique emphasizes a gentler approach on zonular structures and reduces instrument use while maintaining surgical efficiency. In this case, a patient underwent cataract extraction using this method, achieving outcomes comparable to the standard "stop-and-chop" technique. The method requires precise surgical skills and good foot pedal control but does not require alterations to conventional phaco machine settings. FF1-02 Novel Technique for Prevention of Head Tilt During Manual Pre-Operative Corneal Reference Marking for Toric IOL Rahul BAILE India Pre operative reference marking on cornea is very important step for toric IOL. Having a digital /software based marking system is too costly for most of the developing nation doctors. Many ophthalmologists prefer doing corneal reference marking when patient is in sitting position. Head tilt can give rise to wrong reference marking on cornea. I have designed and developed an instrument which can be worn on patient like a spectacle. The spirit level on the horizontal bar of spectacle tells about head position and corneal reference marking can be done accurately with use of bubble marker. Indian patent granted for this instrument. FF1-03 Bimanual Visco-Less Vacuu-Rhexis: A physics based solution to prevent argentinian flag sign in intumescent cataract Rakesh GUPTA India Intumescent cataracts present a high risk of the Argentinian Flag Sign due to elevated intralenticular pressure and rapid capsular extension. I describe a novel Bimanual Visco-less Vacuu-Rhexis technique grounded in the laws of fluid physics, enabling controlled decompression without the use of OVD. Using bimanual instrumentation, a finely regulated vacuum stabilizes the anterior chamber, aspirates liquefied cortex, and gradually reduces capsular tension before initiating the capsulorhexis. This vacuum-assisted modulation prevents sudden tear-outs and provides superior control and visualization in white, intumescent lenses. Early clinical experience shows high reproducibility, enhanced safety, and a marked reduction in Argentinian Flag incidents. This physics-based technique offers a simple, effective, and ergonomic solution for managing challenging intumescent cataracts. FF1-04 Implantation of Newer Design IOL in Rabbit’s Eye Ravikumar P. India Implantation of newer design sulcus fixation IOL in New zealand rabbits to study the biocompatibility of its material by analysing tissue reactions in the eye. We have developed a technique to overcome the difficulties in implanting the IOL in the rabbit’s eye because of its narrow anterior chamber depth and low scleral rigidity. We perform sclero corneal tunnel incision, capsulorhexis, hydro dissection, Phaco emulsification of the nucleus and implanted newer design sulcus fixation IOL successfully. After meticulous post op follow ups, the IOL is removed and subjected to the pathological and microbiological study in our laboratory to study it’s material biocompatibility. FF1-05 Intra-pupillary Phaco Chop Tsung-Hsien CHOU Chinese Taipei This video introduces the concept and surgical applications of Intra-pupillary Phaco Chop, a nucleus fragmentation technique designed to enhance safety, efficiency, and control in cataract surgery. By leveraging the natural layered anatomy of the crystalline lens, fragmentation is performed entirely within the pupillary zone, reducing phaco energy, zonular stress, and reliance on the red reflex. The technique is demonstrated across a wide spectrum of cases, including dense brown cataracts, white cataracts, soft nuclei, small pupils, femto laser–assisted cases, and eyes with prior radial keratotomy. Intra-pupillary Phaco Chop offers a versatile and reliable approach for both routine and complex cataract surgeries, supporting faster recovery and improved surgical outcomes.
