This program highlights the most notable innovations in refractive surgery in the past few years. Each of these innovations has begun to revolutionize the field of refractive surgery and, in doing so, has also begun to stir up some controversy. The program will also include debates in three controversial topics in the field, which include vision correction (laser vs lens), laser vision correction (surface ablation vs LASIK) and presbyopia correction (multifocality vs movement vs depth of field).
Participants should be able to indicate whether intraocular benefits outweigh the risks, whether the popular return of surface ablation outweighs the precision of IntraLASIK and whether technologies using multifocality, movement or depth of field will likely define the future presbyopia correction.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe advanced ocular imaging for precision diagnosis.
- Describe Phakic IOLs for high ametropias.
- Examine collagen crosslinking for keratoectasia.
- Distinguish mitomycin C vs smoothing for PRK haze prevention and treatment.
- Review multifocal IOLs for presbyopia correction.
- Outline femtosecond lasers for safer, more uniform flaps and keratoplasty.
- Identify advanced custom laser delivery and registration for aberration reduction.
