| About The Author: |
| Amar Agarwal, MS, FRCS, FRCOphth, is the pioneer of Phakonit, which is phako with needle-incision technology. This technique became popularised as bimanual phaco, microincision cataract surgery (MICS), or microphaco. He is also the first to remove cataracts through a 0.7-mm tip by the technique called microphakonit. He pioneered no-anaesthesia cataract surgery and FAVIT, a new technique to remove dropped nuclei. The air pump, which was the simple idea of using an aquarium pump to increase the fluid into the eye in bimanual phaco and coaxial phaco, has helped to prevent surge. This built the basis of various techniques of forced infusion for small incision cataract surgery. He was the first to use trypan blue for staining epiretinal membranes and has published the details in his 4-volume textbook of ophthalmology. His latest discovery is a new refractive error called aberropia. Dr. Agarwal has received many awards for his work in ophthalmology the most significant being the Barraquer Award and the Kelman Award |
