Presentation Description
In this session attendees will gain an understanding of the different refractive surgery options available to their patients and how to determine which procedure is most appropriate for a given patient. Refractive procedures will include PRK, LASIK, phakic intraocular lens implantation and refractive lens exchange.
Learning objectives:
- To understand which patients are more suitable for laser vision correction (PRK/LASIK) and which patients are more suitable for refractive lens exchange.
- To understand the patients in whom phakic intraocular lenses are more suitable than laser vision correction.
- To understand the indications, contraindications and expected outcomes from refractive lens exchange surgery.
