• Examine preferred techniques and technology in cataract surgery such as intraoperative aberrometry, IOL exchange, the use of femtosecond laser, maneuvering soft lenses and inserting malyugin rings.
• Review complex cases and complications management in cataract surgery including loose lenses, iris reconstruction, ectasia and scleral fixation.
• Summarize practice pearls in premium and toric IOL implantation and state-of-the-science cataract surgical techniques, including the latest evidence-based recommendations.
• Analyze the safety and efficacy of new or refined strategies for managing corneal health, including: evidence-based dosing regimens for anti-infective and anti-inflammatory drugs in cataract and refractive surgery and the rationale behind them, the latest advances in treating corneal disease and the latest evidence on the treatment of dry eye and ocular allergy.
• Discuss challenging and controversial cases pertaining to femtosecond cataract surgery and refractive IOLs.
• Evaluate state-of-the-science management as it relates to forced infusion phacoemulsification, posterior vitrectomy, wound closure, preventing IOP spikes and astigmatism.
• Evaluate new evidence on managing intraoperative floppy iris syndrome, zonular dehiscence, white cataracts, compromised endothelial function and recurrent epithelial growth.
• Assess new evidence and applications in the medical and surgical management of retinal disorders such as cystoid macular edema, macular therapeutics and anterior segment surgery.
