Abstract

THIS CASE-BASED INSTRUCTION COURSE WILL HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF A ROBUST PRE-OP PLANNING AND CASE SELECTION FOR REFRACTIVE SURGERY; THE MOST CRUCIAL ASPECT FOR ACHIEVING GOOD OUTCOMES AND PATIENT SATISFACTION AFTER ANY CORNEAL REFRACTIVE SURGERY. A VARIETY OF HIGH-END TOOLS HAVE BEEN RECENTLY INTRODUCED IN THE MARKET TO HELP IN DECISION MAKING FOR REFRACTIVE SURGERY. THE ROLE OF MODERN TOPOGRAPHY, EPITHELIAL THICKNESS PROFILE, CORNEAL BIOMECHANICS, OBJECTIVE QUALITY OF VISION ASSESSMENT, ABERRATION ANALYSIS AND NEWER OCT BASED TOPOGRAPHERS WILL BE DISCUSSED THROUGH INTERESTING CASE-BASED SCENARIOS, HIGHLIGHTING THE UTILITY OF EACH OF THESE MODALITIES. ALL SPEAKERS WILL END WITH A CLEAR TAKE HOME MESSAGE ABOUT THE PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF THE EQUIPMENT THEY DISCUSSED, THUS PROVIDING A FAIR IDEA TO THE AUDIENCE ABOUT THE RELATIVE IMPORTANCE AND PRACTICAL USEFULNESS OF THESE EQUIPMENTS, WHICH IN TURN WILL HELP THEM DECIDE, IF THEY NEED TO INCLUDE THEM INTO THEIR REFRACTIVE ARMAMENTARIUM.
