This 2-hour session will feature four international teams of cataract surgeons (ASCRS, LASCRS, ESCRS and APACRS) competing in this highly-educational all-video session highlighting practical pearls for routine and complicated cataract surgery. An international panel of 4 judges will respond with comments and educational pearls following each team’s presentations.

Each team has four surgeons that will sequentially present 4-minute tightly edited videos – one in each even category. The presenters will share practical pearls for audience members to incorporate into their own surgical armamentarium. Each team will receive a rating from the panel of judges. Judging criteria will include teaching value, presentation quality, surgical technique, and interest/entertainment value.

At the conclusion of the session, the audience will vote for the individual Gold Medal winner in each of the four categories. The audience will also vote to select the Gold Medal winning team.
