Breakfast – Registration
8:30-11:30
- Introduction to current cornea diagnostics and their relative differences:
Placido Topography, Scheimpflug tomography, Anterior segment OCT,
LED color reflection to- pography.
- 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.
Technology overview and case presentations, with the Wavelight,
Schwind and Ivis platforms.
- Topography astigmatism, centroid and angle kappa considerations for
possible revision of the clinical refraction used in each ablation.
11:30-12:30
Discussion lunch
12:30-15:30
- Topography customized methodology for virgin myopic and hyperopic
eyes.
- Topography customized methodology for irregular corneas (previously
treated: RK, decentered and/or irregular ablations, as well as irregular and
ectasia cases).
- Anticipating asphericity and sphere compensatory nomograms for
better spherical correction and emmetropia.
- Participants will gain access to an online database with over 100 cases
examples (pre-op data, treatment design, treatment video, postop data
and overview of what went well and what potentially went off-target).
- Complications assessment and management.
