Educational Objectives
Ophthalmologists who attend this course will:
- Describe the comprehensive safety and outcome results of LASIK as identified in the US FDA PROWL study;
- Identify the outcome goals of a laser vision correction practice, and how to develop a metric of visual quality that more consistently correlates with high levels of patient satisfaction, as well as how advanced profile diagnostics might help drive improved outcomes; and
- Discuss practical innovative pathways and modern patient targeting practices to help increase LASIK as a viable, successful option for patients in today’s LVC environment.
