Implanting iStents Through a Side Port to Correct Astigmatism in Combined Surgery

Dr. Abdelwahhab Azzawi demonstrates a combined procedure of phacoemulsification followed by implantation of an iStent to correct astigmatism. Following phacoemulsification, a gonioprism helps guide insertion of the iStent through a side port and implantation. A second iStent is implanted 2 hours later. Finally, the viscoelastic is absorbed from the anterior chamber through irrigation/aspiration and the side ports are sealed with hydration.
