Wet lab provides unique experience
A
ttendees at the Advanced
Phaco wet lab found
unique insights through
the one-on-one instruc-
tion it offered.
"I wanted to try a couple of
things that I haven't had the oppor-
tunity to do since residency training
—some advanced techniques that
don't come up every day—ideally
before having to do it with a real
patient," said Michelle Loichinger,
MD, Eden Prairie, Minnesota, who
was attending her first wet lab at the
2017 ASCRS•ASOA Symposium &
Congress.
Under the watchful eye of an
instructor, Dr. Loichinger practiced
placement of capsular tension rings
and anterior chamber intraocular
lenses in pig eyes. She found the pig
eyes very clear—not always the case
in wet labs—and the instructions
very helpful.
