Refractive Surgery: Advanced Techniques and Customization
Theoretical Approach: In-depth update on LASIK and PRK. Wavefront analysis, topographic, and tomographic maps for safety screening.
Practical Skills: Planning and executing flaps with Microkeratome and Femtosecond Laser. Management of intraoperative (incomplete flaps, free flaps) and postoperative complications (DLK, ectasia).
Target Audience: Ophthalmologists seeking to master corneal remodeling with maximum refractive predictability.
Cataract Surgery: High Performance and Risk Management
Theoretical Approach: Fluidics dynamics in modern Phacoemulsification. Nuclear fragmentation techniques (vertical chop, horizontal chop, and Stop & Chop).
Practical Skills: Creating clear corneal tunneled incisions and perfect capsulorhexes. Hands-on training for managing common complications, such as posterior capsule rupture and anterior vitrectomy.
Target Audience: Surgeons aiming to optimize surgical time and minimize endothelial cell loss.
Intraocular Lenses (IOLs): Selection, Calculation, and Technologies
Theoretical Approach: Optical differentiation among Monofocal Plus, EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus), Bifocal, and Trifocal IOLs. Next-generation calculation formulas (Barrett Universal II, Hill-RBF, Kane) and biometrics in eyes with prior refractive surgery.
Practical Skills: Precise alignment of Toric IOLs on the astigmatic axis. Implantation and centration techniques for premium lenses.
Target Audience: Physicians focused on achieving emmetropia post-cataract and providing spectacle independence.
Glaucoma Surgery: Efficient Trabeculectomy (Trab)
Theoretical Approach: Precise indications for traditional Trabeculectomy in moderate-to-advanced glaucoma. Pharmacology of wound healing modulators (Mitomycin C and 5-Fluorouracil).
Practical Skills: Creating the perfect scleral flap and controlling trabecular flow. Immediate postoperative management: digital ocular massage, laser suturelysis, and handling hypotony or failing blebs.
Target Audience: Specialists and generalists managing patients refractory to maximum tolerated medical therapy.
Glaucoma Drainage Devices and Shunts
Theoretical Approach: Science of major-stream drainage implants (Ahmed, Baerveldt) and introduction to Micro-Shunts (MIGS). Flow restriction mechanisms and hypotony prevention.
Practical Skills: Surgical technique for implant body fixation, tunneling, and tube insertion into the anterior chamber or ciliary sulcus. Use of biological patches (donor sclera or pericardium).
Target Audience: Surgeons seeking safe alternatives for refractory, neovascular, or failed prior trabeculectomy glaucomas.
