Abstract

MANAGING COMPLICATED ANTERIOR SEGMENT PATHOLOGY IS A CHALLENGE.

IN SUCH CASES, A SINGLE SIMPLE SURGERY MIGHT NOT BE THE ANSWER AND A MULTIMODAL APPROACH INVOLVING COMBINED PROCEDURES OR MULTIPLE STEPS IS REQUIRED. APPROACHING SUCH CASES NOT ONLY REQUIRES HIGH END SURGICAL SKILLS OR INSTRUMENTATION BUT ALSO ADDITIONAL CHAIR TIME WITH PATIENTS TO MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY OF THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE, PREOPERATIVE AND POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT, ASSOCIATED RISKS, PROLONGED RECOVERY TIME, AND SOME TIMES SUBOPTIMAL VISUAL OUTCOMES DESPITE ALL THE EFFORTS.

THE EXPERTS IN THIS IC WILL BE SHARING THEIR EXPERIENCE IN HANDLING SUCH CASES IN THE FIELD OF THE CORNEA, CATARACT, REFRACTIVE SURGERY, AND PEDIATRIC TRAUMATIC CATARACTS. THIS IC AIMS TO SHOW A STEPWISE APPROACH IN MANAGING COMPLICATED ANTERIOR SEGMENT CASES WHICH CAN HELP ALL OPHTHALMOLOGISTS.
