Frank GOES jr., Bernard HEINTZ, Fernand DE WILDEInteractive Clinical Courses
Wednesday 27 November 2019, 09:00 - 10:30, SILVER
BASICModern refractive surgery has many treatment possibilities. Often, the choice between them is easy. Sometimes, deciding between different options is more difficult. With more than 2500 treatments performed every year, the new refractive surgery group LVC (Laser Vision Clinics) offers all these options. We will try to give an objective overview of all the treatments possible, and a flowchart to guide you through the decisions.

Wednesday 27 November 2019, 16:00 - 17:30, Hall 300
BASIC
Corneal topography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique for mapping the surface curvature of the cornea. It is the most important test for refractive surgery to detect abnormalities, diagnose early cases of ectatic corneal diseases and classify these diseases. It also helps in the follow-up of these disease and eventually plan for the best choice treatment.Therefore it is crucial for all ophthalmologist to have a good idea and be able to use / read this test.
