3. Our courses are purely instructional. Any medical procedure liability lays with the operating surgeon and the bylaws observed in the country and state of his/ her practice.
4. This course is an independent venue and not related in any way to the American Academy of Ophthalmology or the International Society of Refractive Surgery.
-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
-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
Each participant will have the chance to design several treatments on site! The course will be limited to 20 participants.
Each course will have a $2950 tuition
This will include exclusive participation to the course, coffee breaks, lunch and 1 year access to the databank 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)
