Prof. Amar Agarwal, MS, FRCS, FRCOphth is the pioneer of the phakonit procedure, which is phako with needle incision technology. This technique became popularized as bimanual phaco, microincision cataract surgery (MICS) or microphaco. He is the first to remove cataracts through a 0.7-mm tip with the technique called microphakonit. He has also discovered no anesthesia cataract surgery and FAVIT, a new technique to remove dropped nuclei. The use of an air pump, which was a simple idea of using an aquarium fish pump to increase the fluid into the eye in bimanual phaco and coaxial phaco, has helped prevent surge. This formed the basis of various techniques of forced infusion for small incision cataract surgery. Prof. Agarwal was also the first to use trypan blue for staining epiretinal membranes and published the details in his four volume Textbook of Ophthalmology. He has also discovered a new refractive error called Aberropia. He is the first to do a combined surgery of microphakonit (700- cataract surgery) with a 25-gauge vitrectomy in the same patient, thus having the smallest incisions possible for cataract and vitrectomy. He is also the first surgeon to implant a new mirror telescopic intraocular lens (LMI) for patients suffering from age-related macular degeneration. Prof. Agarwal has received many awards for his work done in ophthalmology, most significant being the Barraquer Award and the Kelman Award. His videos have won many awards at the film festivals of ASCRS and ESCRS. He has also written more than 40 books, which have been published in various languages including English, Spanish and Polish. In his center, he also trains doctors from all over the world on phaco, bimanual phaco, LASIK, and the retina. He is also Professor of Ophthalmology at Ramachandra Medical College in Chennai, India.
