Abstract

WITH INCREASING LIFE-EXPECTANCY AND BETTER GLAUCOMA DIAGNOSTICS, THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS WITH COMBINED CATARACT AND GLAUCOMA IS RAPIDLY INCREASING. CATARACT SURGERY COMBINED WITH TRABECULECTOMY HAS BEEN THE TRADITIONAL APPROACH FOR SUCH PATIENTS. HOWEVER, WITH THE ADVENT OF GLAUCOMA DRAINAGE DEVICES AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE GLAUCOMA SURGERY PROCEDURES, OPHTHALMOLOGISTS NOW HAVE MORE OPTIONS FOR MANAGING SUCH CASES. PHACO COMBINED WITH AHMED GLAUCOMA VALVE OR AADI MAY BE NEEDED FOR SELECTED CASES. MIGS PROCEDURES LIKE I-STENT, KAHOOK DUAL BLADE (KDB), TRABECTOME, GATT, INNFOCUS, XEN ETC. HAVE ALSO BEEN RECENTLY COMBINED WITH CATARACT SURGERY. FACED WITH A PLETHORA OF CHOICES, IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE INDICATIONS AND MASTER THE NUANCES OF THE SURGICAL PROCEDURES FOR OPTIMUM OUTCOME. THIS VIDEO-BASES INSTRUCTION COURSE WILL SHOWCASE THE FINER ASPECTS OF THESE SURGICAL PROCEDURES. ALL THE PRESENTERS HAVE DECADES OF EXPERIENCE IN THIS FIELD AND WILL SHARE THEIR TIPS AND TRICKS.
