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!
