Join us for this long overdue event which will discuss evolving treatments for cataract and refractive problems, and how to utilize them in your own practice as an eye surgeon. 

A key aim is to understand evolving intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulae, to enable attendees to achieve great visual outcomes in different types of eyes. 

This virtual meeting aims to debunk myths around toric IOLs. It will provide an understanding of how to use different toric IOLs, and the expected improvement you will achieve in visual outcomes.  

Our expert speakers will explore how modern IOLs (e.g. EDOFs) and modern laser applications have changed the game in achieving unprecedented patient satisfaction.  

The aim of this session is to provide comprehensive information to attendees about developments in refractive and cataract surgery. This is to assist them to develop their own clinical practice, and enable them to employ latest evidence-based management for the benefit of their patients.  

By attending this event, you will learn:

  • Which intraocular lens calculations to use when planning cataract surgery for different types of patients and why

  • The pros and cons of new types of intraocular lenses, and which patients would benefit from each lens

  • When toric lenses can be used in intraocular surgery and why. Understanding indications, advantages and disadvantages

  • The different types of laser refractive surgery (e.g. LASIK, LASEK, SMILE, etc) and when to use each type and why

  • The applications of excimer laser for therapeutic purposes. Understanding when it can be used, which settings to use, and what outcomes to expect
