This hands-on lab will transfer the surgical skills required for the use of newer strabismus techniques. Attendees will perform the procedures using a 3D-printed silicone model validated for strabismus surgery simulation, under the operating microscope and/or using attendee’s personal loupes. Specific techniques the attendee will learn include: use of the grooved hook for safe suturing of tight muscles, revised han...

This is a very practical course on how to manage common ocular conditions that present to a comprehensive or paediatric ophthalmologist. We will use case-based discussions to highlight assessment and management strategies. This includes how to communicate the concepts to parents for them to understand and be onboard with management. We will also describe long term complications including poor treatment compliance and steps to help families. Learning Objectives

 This wetlab based course will feature hands-on training for participants reviewing the principles and techniques for ocular trauma repair. Participants will review principles for the repair of complex corneoscleral lacerations, while having hands on experience in practicing basic and advanced corneal suturing techniques, including suturing under tension. Basic principles will be discussed including suture selection, placement, width, depth, and te...
