Course will guide participants through a number of difficult conversations that they may commonly encounter relating to the performance of cataract surgery, including the ruptured posterior capsule, the dropped nucleus, postoperative refractive surprise, and the unhappy patient. Attendees will learn how to communicate with patients and their families – honestly and effectively – in these and other potentially emotionally charged situations.
