CataractCoach Podcast 177: Richard Mackool MD

Our guest is a truly gifted surgeon, mentor to many (including me), innovator, and a legendary ophthalmologist, Dr. Richard Mackool. Widely recognized for his groundbreaking work in cataract surgery fluidics and techniques, Dr. Mackool has achieved a remarkable documented posterior capsule rupture rate of less than one in a thousand. Driven by a unique engineering mindset rooted in his early days fixing cars with his father, his lifelong passion for experimentation has transformed surgical workflows. Join us as we dive into his career, his key innovations, and his inspiring philosophy on happiness, curiosity, and continuous learning. One of my favorite podcasts ever!

We feature a new podcast every week on Sundays and they are uploaded to all major podcast services. The full video of the podcast is here on CataractCoach as well as on our YouTube channel. Starting now we have sponsorship opportunities available for the top podcast in all of ophthalmology. Please contact us to inquire.
