Dancing with the Stars is a popular Hollywood television show in which an amateur and a professional dancer team up to compete before a live audience and a critical panel of judges. In Phaco with the Stars, six anterior segment fellows will present a complex phaco or IOL case that was managed with the advice and guidance of his or her fellowship director. The audience will hear these expert pearls and then watch the fellow perform surgery on the challenging case. Two panelist/judges will critique the case management and surgical technique. Very few ophthalmologists get the opportunity to train with the best phaco surgeons and teachers. Anterior segment fellowships are highly coveted because trainees get to operate alongside their faculty mentor on challenging patients. In Phaco with the Stars, ASCRS attendees will get the benefit of such expert mentorship from leading phaco instructors in the management of 6 challenging cases.
