08:00-10:00:
Cornea Diagnostics
- Introduction to current cornea diagnostics and their relative differences: Placido Topography,
Scheimpflug tomography, Anterior segment OCT, LED color reflection topography.
- Corneal epithelial mapping and its clinical relevance in diagnosis and treatment
- Basic principles in employing topography data (Scheimpflug based and/or Placido-based) in
the customization of an excimer corneal ablation.
- Topography astigmatism, centroid and angle kappa considerations for possible revision of
the clinical refraction used in each ablation.
- Overview and case presentations with the Wavelight, Schwind and Ivis platforms.
10:00-12:00:
Customized Treatments
- Topography customized methodology for virgin myopic and hyperopic eyes. Practice
hands-on on the workshop laptops.
- Topography customized methodology for irregular corneas (previously treated: RK,
decentered and/or irregular ablations, as well as irregular and ectasia cases). Practice on-site,
hands-on.
- Anticipating asphericity and sphere compensatory nomograms for better spherical correction
and emmetropia.
- Participants will gain advance access online to over 200 cases examples (pre-op data,
treatment design, treatment video, postop data and overview of successful and even
problematic cases).
- Complications assessment and management.
12:00-13:00:
“Wet-lab“ hands-on treatment designing
- Each participant will have the chance to design several treatments on site from pre-loaded
material, or bring their own cases to load!
