"Sean Ianchulev, MD, MPH: Microinterventional Cataract Fragmentation" - Jenna Payesko
Microinterventional lens and cataract fragmentation technology is something that was introduced earlier this year in the United States, and it uses microinterventional thin filaments, super-elastic technology, something that is used commonly in interventional radiology and also cardiology that allows you to use those very thin filaments to go around the lens and then fragment the lens into pieces. Sean Ianchulev, MD, MPH, professor of ophthalmology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and director of the ophthalmic innovation and technology program at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, discussed the benefit of using microinterventional fragmentation of the lens instead of phacoemulsification to aid in cataract surgery. The breakthrough technology, miLOOP, will change how cataract surgery is performed and how doctors fragment the lens, exposing the eye to less surgery.
