Biometry and IOL calculations for refractive cataract surgery
|
08.30 –12.30 |
N/A |
free |
Lehar 3 |
|
With ever-increasing patient expectations and the advent of advanced technology intraocular lenses and cataract surgery has moved into the realm of refractive surgery, demanding that we continuously evaluate the accuracy of performing preoperative measurements and IOL calculations. With the complexity of some patients such as high myopes and those that have had prior refractive surgery, this topic is more relevant than ever before. This course will review the principles of lens constant personalization, formula selection, keratometry for both monofocal and toric implants, standardization of axial length measurements with both optical and ultrasound techniques and the most current methods for post-refractive surgery calculations.
The course will conclude with a hands-on session of both optical and immersion biometry on provided equipment from manufacturers. |

Refractive surgery for ophthalmic personnel (Part 1 – Theory)
|
10.00 – 12.00 |
N/A |
Free |
Lehar 2 |
|
In this course participants will have the opportunity to look at the current techniques used in refractive surgery:
• Topography: the course will contain a theoretical part and hands-on practice where participants will learn to do exams.
• Critical points about patient selection and decision-making concerning a photorefractive candidate, and evaluating quality of vision following refractive surgery.
• An overview of microkeratomes will be given, along with hands-on practice where the participants can look at assembly and tips for a safe procedure.
• Postoperative complications, emergencies and re-operations will also be covered.Part 1 – Theory:• Current techniques
• Evaluating visual performance following refractive surgery
• Patient selection/decision-making
• Emergencies/postoperative complications
• Re-operationsPart 2 – Practical:• Topography
• Overview of microkeratomes
Please note: All those attending Part 2 must also participate
in Part 1 of the course. However it is possible to attend Part 1 without attending Part 2. |

B-scan ultrasound is an invaluable tool for the differentiation of a wide range of ocular disorders. This course will discuss the diagnostic capabilities of both posterior segment B-Scan and UBM of the anterior segment when optimal examination techniques are utilized. The principles involved for thorough B-scan screening of the posterior segment will be reviewed in addition to case presentations illustrating the differentiation of pathology in the vitroues, retina, choroid, sclera and optic nerve as well as the use of diagnostic A-scan to aid in diagnoses. UBM examination techniques will also be reviewed followed by case presentations illustrating the differentiation of iris and ciliary body pathology in addition to techniques for sulcus-to-sulcus and angle measurements.
The course will conclude with a hand-on session of both posterior segment and UBM techniques on provided equipment from the following manufactures: Accutome, Ellex and Sonomed |
