Lectures from world leading experts and interactive discussion will enable the learning for all the attendees. All lectures will be based on the most updated medical evidence and safe practice. The course aims to cover the different approaches to patients management of refractive errors detailing the different laser and not laser techniques including presbyopia surgery. The course will cover several hot topics such as ocular surface evaluation and management before and after vision correction surgery, modern corneal tomography with the CSO MS39 and its understanding and interpretation, presbyopia surgical options, laser vision correction different modalities and their outcomes (femto-LASIK, surface treatments and lenticule extraction), early cataract surgery (refractive lens exchange) and the options in terms of the most advanced IOL implant as well as phakic IOL surgery for the higher refractive errors. It aims to be the most comprehensive course in refractive surgery in a one single day format.

Learning outcomes

• Refractive surgery learning as a whole.
• Learning the different approaches in refractive surgery from laser vision correction modalities (lenticle femtosecond cornea surgery, femto-lasik and surface ablation), to non-laser surgery (lens surgery and implantable collamer lenses).
• One day full immersion in the real world of refractive surgery as a whole.
