This masterclass is tailored for the cataract surgeon, and aims to bridge the gap between the posterior segment and cataract surgery. The programme will focus on management of vitreous loss during cataract surgery, covering both anterior and posterior approaches for anterior vitrectomy. It will also address the importance and relevance of macula OCT interpretation and offer tips on how this tool can be used to improve surgical outcomes and avoid poor IOL choices.
