optic or haptic?
Subject: optic or haptic?

In a cataract extraction, would a haptic or an optic be captured in the ciliary sulcus? He later says that the optic was captured in the capsular bag with the haptics being latched securely in the sulcus.

I don't exactly know what you are asking.  If the question is regarding what he meant and you have any question, flag it and send it to your Q.A. or whereever you send reports with blanks.  Not a good idea to try to "correct" the doc's dictation and an even worse idea to guess.

Hi all,

Once again need some ideas. I swear it sounds like she is saying hemnio-optic but no work exists like that...

The context is: "...her history of Alzheimer’s and her visual field defects which are ??optic in nature..."

Any ideas?

Okay, this is a stretch but, I'm wondering if MD could be referring Arzol silver nitrate sticks (see web site) that they use for expistaxis.?   Sorry, I'm not much help.  I've always typed silver nitrate for this.
