Cornea II: Refractive surgery and keratoconus
My Session Status
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- To review how to optimize the use corneal diagnostics to detect corneal ectasia.
- To review rare complications after crosslinking and outcomes of custom corneal allogenic stromal ring segments.
- To review options for refractive correction of high myopia and keratoconus patients with cataract.
- To develop strategies to enhance patient interactions and to manage pain after refractive surgery.
