2nd ESASO Anterior Segment Academy 2016

2nd ESASO Anterior Segment Academy 2016 is a conference that provides knowledge and new research information in the field of ophthalmology.

Key Topics

• Topography: how to evaluate it in different algorithm (elevation, instantaneous, sagittal, pupil position and angle K)
• How different instrument measure it an the source of error (autoref., skiascopy, keratometer (jawal, hemolz) aberrometer, topographer, tomographer
• Aberrometry: Can we identify what is astigmatism and what is coma and other HOA that can apparently increase the amount of refractive astigmatism
• Tomography: When is pure astigmatism
• Anterior segment OCT and astigmatism are different layer in cornea make a difference?
• Refracting a pts with astigmatism, which is the best way? (Aberrometry approach)
• How to analyse an astigmatism
• Internal astigmatism what is it?
• Surface ablation
• The source of astigmatism:
• Custom ablation or optimized ablation
• Intra-stromal ablation
• Intra-stromal lens
• Relaxing incision
• Toric IOL
• Complication and their solution The correction with intraocular surgery
• Iris fixated
• Phakic IOL
• Piggy back implants
• Posterior chamber IOL
• Did I change the corneal shape as planned, how to measure it?
• Complication and their solution
• The evaluation of effective O.Z. optical qualities and their implication
• The way to predict regression
• How to measure the axis of IOL
• The epithelial lens and OCT
• How to make a vectorial analysis of sphere and cyl post-op
• The refraction is not the planned! Is it an biometric error or a toric misalignment?
• Corneal retreatment
• IOL exchange or alignment
