Educational Objectives
Ophthalmologists who attend this course will:
- Establish protocols for exposing young ophthalmologists to LACS, and identify the clinical benefits and practice implications of the growing use of femtosecond laser assistance in cataract surgery.
- Recognize the visual quality performance of premium IOLs, particularly with advanced presbyopia-correcting and toric IOLs, with regard to both clinical outcomes and practice performance and the importance of incorporating these technologies for both new and established refractive cataract practices.
- Describe the latest evolutions in refractive surgery as a new paradigm for ophthalmologists, and the benefits and implications this technology has for both patient care and establishing a modern cataract and refractive practice.
