“ 

Thanks to the critical contributions from the world's leading ophthalmologists, we have prepared an 

exciting scientific program for the WOC2012, which covers 35 subspecialty areas with symposia, case 

studies, debates, panel discussions, video sessions, interactive lectures and much more. We planned a 

truly comprehensive, innovative and state of the art program that will suit the expectations of all our 

attendees.

When, What, Why, How Of Pediatric 

Cataract 

Presenter: Zia-ul-Mazhry 

Objectives: Upon completion of this course, the 

ophthalmologist should be able to: 

• Initiate a surgical intervention at the appropriate time when 

faced with a unilateral or bilateral pediatric cataract. 

• Explain the advantages and disadvantages to IOL implantation 

in pediatric age group. 

• Describe the different types of intraocular lenses available for 

implantation in pediatric cataract surgery. 

• Identify and manage frequent intraoperative complications 

encountered in pediatric cataract surgery.

Failed Graft-Never Say Die! 

Presenters: Jatin Ashar, Vinay S Pillai, Pravin Vaddavalli, 

Sunita Chaurasia 

Synopsis: Almost a third of the grafts (penetrating/lamellar) fail. 

A repeat surgery is needed for restoring vision. Repeat 

penetrating keratoplasty (PK) has an increased risk of failure. 

In contrast, an endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) has more 

predictable outcomes and advantages in terms of freedom from 

sutures, reduced steroid dependency and reduced follow up. 

Even DSEK may undergo failure. In such cases, a repeat DSEK or 

a PK is needed. Each procedure has its own pros and cons. There 

is sparse literature regarding outcomes of such surgery. 

Despite multiple attempts, graft failure may be inevitable in some 

cases. Keratoprosthesis may be an answer to this. The criteria for 

selection of the procedure, technique, post operative medication 

and follow up vary for each one of them. A repeat DSEK requires 

modifications in standard technique. All these have bearing on 

the final outcome and prognosis. 

Objective: At the end of the course, the attendee will be familiar 

with the indications, surgical modalities and modifications, follow 

up and benefits-risks of repeat graft (PK, DSEK and 

Keratoprosthesis) for graft failure.

Objective: To provide the participanting ophthalmologists an 

overview of the latest management pearls involved in treating 

pediatric retinal disorders. 

Summary of Content: At 27%, pediatric retinal disorders are 

the single most common cause of childhood blindness. 

Of these, more than 40% are avoidable. In spite of the large 

numbers, very few centers in the world deal with them. 

This course will include disorders like retinopathy of 

prematurity, congenital retinoschisis, persistent fetal 

vasculature, microincision vitreoretinal surgery (MIVS) in 

children, role of anti VEGF's in pediatric retinal disorders and 

retinoblastoma. It will expose the participants to the 

clinical features and surgical management of these disorders 

and will also provide the current practice patterns.

Stereo Anatomy of Orbit, Eyelid and Lacrimal System from 

the Surgeon's Perspective 

Synopsis: A comprehensive review of orbital, eyelid, and 

lacrimal system anatomy using projected stereo images of 

meticulous cadaveric dissections. Specific emphasis will be 

placed upon surgical approaches and complications. 

Objectives: To reacquaint course participants with the anatomy 

of the orbit/ocular adnexa, and to increase their confidence 

when operating in these areas. 

Introduction: To gain familiarity with the anatomy of the orbit 

and ocular adnexae verbal description and cross section 

illustrations are inadequate. Three dimensional images of 

dissections offer a unique way of appreciating structural 

relationships, whithout the segmentation of continuous units 

inherent in cross sections. We present a series of such stereo 

images, from a viewpoint of the surgeon needing to know her 

or his way around the region.

Approach to the Management of 

Posterior Segment Ocular Trauma 

Presenters: Mahesh Gopalakrishnan, Giridhar Anantharam, 

Prasan Rao 

Posterior segment ocular trauma is a common cause of severe 

visual loss. Timely intervention can prevent complications and 

help to sustain useful vision throughout life. Every 

ophthalmologist should be aware of the management of 

fresh ocular trauma. Awareness also has medico and legal 

implications. This course is aimed at comprehensive 

ophthalmologists and retinologists. After every didactic lecture, 

which will be aptly supported by video demonstrations, there 

will be audience interaction also. 

The topics covered include: 

• Introduction and pathophysiological basis of posterior - 

segment ocular trauma 

• Ultrasound imaging of posterior-segment trauma 

• Immediate management of open globe injury including 

occult scleral rupture 

• Macular involvement in closed-globe injury 

• Vitrectomy in open and closed-globe injuries-When, Why and 

How 

• Management of complicated trauma -related retinal 

detachments 

• Evaluation and management of retained intraocular foreign 

body 

• Post traumatic endophthalmitis-how is it different from post 

operative endophthalmitis 

• Discussion

Increased Test-Retest Variability Typically 

Precedes Definite Glaucomatous Field 

Defects in Early Glaucoma 

Presenter: Tutul Chakravarti 

Early field loss is often represented by a region of variable 

responses rather than by a localized deep scotoma. Increased 

local fluctuations typically precede definite glaucomatous field 

defects in early glaucoma in a set of subjects with 1) ocular 

hypertension, 2) Primary Angle Closure and 3) glaucoma 

suspects who converted to glaucoma with early localized 

defects. The conversion to glaucoma is a reproducible 

glaucomatous field defect at the moment of their conversion 

in Automated Perimetry. This retrospective chart reviews 129 

cases (256 charts; 243 OHT+9 PAC+4 glaucoma suspects). 

Participants were tested once half-yearly and followed up 4-7 

years. Early defects manifested as increased variable responses 

in affected areas of 9 charts out of 31 converted charts 

(25 converted patients). Variability occurs mostly at 

pathological points in those 9 charts. Test-retest variability 

increases in the areas finally becoming definitely abnormal 

and representing warning signs of absolute defects.

Changing Trends in Trabeculectomy 

Video Assisted Skill Transfer Course 

Presenters: Ganesh Venkataraman, Sathyan Parthasarathi, 

Ramakrishnan Rengappa 

Objective: To highlight various modifications associated with 

trabeculectomy and their outcomes. 

Summary of Content: Trabeculectomy, the guarded filteration 

surgery, has been a gold standard in glaucoma surgery for the 

last 5-6 decades. If performed properly it helps to lower 

intraocular pressure without any adverse effects. Complications 

of trabeculectomy occur even in the hands of the expert. To 

enhance success rates additional modifications are in vogue. 

These modifications have not caught on uniformly amongst the

Pediatric Cataract Surgery: Conquering 

the Challenge 

Presenters: Jagat Ram, Ken Nischal, Jaspreet Sukhija, 

Sudarshan Khokhar 

Objective: To educate and discuss the challenges in the 

pediatric cataract management. 

Summary of Content: Major challenges associated with 

pediatric cataract surgery in growing eyes are selection of 

optimal surgical technique, management of aphakia, handling 

of technically difficult surgery, intraocular lens (IOL) power 

calculation and management of postoperative complications. 

Refined and perfected surgical techniques, availability of 

suitable IOL designs as well as understanding the growth and 

refractive changes in children have made IOL implantation safe 

modality in the management of pediatric cataract. Issues of 

concern are the optimal age for IOL implantation, whether IOL 

implantation should be as primary or a secondary, what IOL 

power to choose, target postoperative refractive status. 

Latest trends in surgical techniques and the importance of 

choosing the optimal means of optical rehabilitation will be 

discussed.

Neovascular Glaucoma still remains a difficult and challenging 

condition in Ophthalmology. The last few years has witnessed 

new modalities in the diagnosis and management of Neovascular 

Glaucoma (NVG), and thereby help clinicians salvage useful vision 

in some of these eyes. Through didactic lectures and video films, 

this course will present diagnostic and management algorithms 

which will effectively combine the retina and glaucoma 

perspectives in the management of this challenging clinical 

entity. The panel discussion with case scenarios will help evolve 

a working algorithm for the management of NVG. At the end of 

the course, the participants will have a working knowledge as to 

how to tackle patients with Neovascular glaucoma.

Presenter: Wael Abdelghani 


Objective: This course is designed to give ophthalmologists an 

overview of Sutureless Vitrectomy. 

Genetic studies now help in prenatal diagnosis and screening of 

siblings. The course will aim to highlight the practical aspects in 

the current standard of care for retinoblastoma and logically 

analyze recent developments. 

Target Audience: General Ophthalmologists, Ocular 

Oncologists and Retina Specialists 


Summary of Content: The course will provide an overview of 

Pars Plana Vitrectomy. It will then introduce sutureless 25 and 

23 Gauge Vitrectomy. Indications for use of 25 and 23 G 

vitrectomy will be discussed and the techniques will be 

described with the aid of video presentations. Advantages 

and limitations of 25 and 23 G vitrectomy will also be reviewed, 

highlighting the most commonly encountered complications. 

Illustrations and video presentations will be used throughout 

the course to clarify the material, describe the technique and 

give practicing doctors an opportunity to test their 

understanding of the material. 

Target Audience: Vitreo-Retinal Surgeons who already have 

some experience with vitrectomy. 

Vitreo-Retinal surgeons completing this course should be able to: 

• Describe the technique of sutureless 25 and 23 G Vitrectomy 

• Enumerate the indications of sutureless 25 and 23 G 

Vitrectomy 

• Discuss advantages and limitations of 25 and 23 G vitrectomy. 

Vitreo-retinal specialists will have the opportunity to discuss 

and compare this modern approach to other techniques that 

were previously used.

Retinoblastoma - They Live and See! 

Presenters: Santosh Honavar, Nabil Taresh, Arun Singh, 

Jerry Shields, Ralph Eagle 

Objective: To enable the participant to understand and 

incorporate into practice recent developments in the diagnosis 

and management of retinoblastoma. 

Summary of Content: Recent advances in the diagnosis and 

management of retinoblastoma have significantly contributed 

to improved success in patient survival, eye salvage, and optimal 

vision salvage. The new staging and grouping systems are now 

clinically validated and well accepted. Modern management 

strategies such as transpupillary thermotherapy, plaque 

brachytherapy, chemoreduction and periocular chemotherapy 

have been effective in improving eye and vision salvage. 

Selective intra-arterial chemotherapy has shown promise and 

is an existing new development. Minimal manipulation 

enucleation has been further optimized to enable harvesting a 

long optic nerve stump and provide excellent cosmetic outcome. 

Adjuvant therapy in children with histopathologic high-risk 

characteristics identified following enucleation has reduced the 

risk of systemic metastasis. A multimodal protocol has been 

effective in salvaging patients with orbital retinoblastoma.

Lamellar Corneal Surgery - 

Video Based Learning Course 

Presenters: Rajesh Fogla, Ashish Nagpal, Quresh Maskati, 

Vikas Mittal 

Objective: To update regarding recent advances in corneal 

transplantation surgery - anterior and posterior lamellar 

keratoplasty. 

Summary of Content: Corneal transplantation surgery has 

witnessed revolutionary change over the past decade. Anterior 

and posterior lamellar surgical procedures have evolved which 

help selectively replace dysfunctional layers of the cornea to 

restore structure and function with improved eyesight. Full 

thickness keratoplasty is no longer the first choice of surgical 

procedure for certain corneal disorders. This video based course 

will cover all aspects of lamellar corneal surgery, right from donor 

tissue preparation, step by step approach of surgical procedures, 

managing complications, and surgery in difficult situations. 

Course attendees will have an overview of both anterior and 

posterior lamellar corneal surgical procedures, and will be able 

to apply the knowledge gained in their clinical practice. Corneal 

surgeons will be able to gain insight into details of surgical 

technique which will help them make a smooth transition from 

full thickness corneal transplantation surgery to lamellar 

corneal procedures. 

Target Audience: Cornea sub specialists and general 

ophthalmologists

Low Vision Basics 

Presenter: Sanjiv Desai 


This is a basic level instruction course for ophthalmologists, 

which focuses on imparting appropriate skills in clinical low 

vision. The objective of the course is to impart skills in assessing 

low vision cases in the clinic and how to dispense low vision aids 

[LVA]. It begins by defining low vision and describing the 

common ophthalmic conditions leading to low vision. Then the 

cardinal principles of treating low vision are described, followed 

by exploring various types of optical and non-optical low vision 

aids [LVA] available in the market to enhance visual performance, 

their optics, their advantages and disadvantages and how to use 

them. Finally the course is wound up by discussing how to assess 

a low vision patient in the clinic and how to dispense low vision 

aids. At the end of the course, participants will become proficient 

in identifying and treating low vision cases in their day-to-day 

practice, thus, integrating low vision care into their clinical 

practice.

Presenters: Arif Adenwala, Mahesh Dalvi, Tasneem Parkar 

Objective: To Explain to the Target Audience the Technique of 

the Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery and its Importance 

During Transition from Conventional Cataract Surgery 

to Phacoemulsification. 

Summary of Content: Manual small incision cataract surgery 

(SICS) offers similar advantages of Phacoemulsification with 

the merits of wider applicability, better safety, a shorter learning 

curve and lower cost. It can be performed in almost all types of 

cataracts. Transition to phacoemulsification is easier if one has 

mastered manual SICS, as familiarity of steps common to both 

technique helps reduce the incidence of complications. 

The Important steps of making sclerocorneal pocket tunnel 

incision, delivery of nucleus in to the anterior chamber and wound, 

implantation of lens and wound closure would be discussed. 

The different methods of nucleus delivery out of the AC by 

hydro-expression, visco-expression, vectis assisted delivery, 

or the fish-hook technique would be explained.

Objectives: The course aims to instruct attendees about how to 

deal with a patient with end-stage glaucoma in terms of clinical 

assessment of diagnostic and progression parameters and 

various modalities of treatment of such patient and the impact 

of treatment and disease progression on visual prognosis. 

Summary of Content: The course will discuss an important 

topic that carries a major challenge in many regions of the world 

where a plenty of patients are seen for the first time with a 

severe form of glaucoma (end-stage). What are the criteria of 

defining advanced to end-stage glaucoma, what further 

investigations should be performed for these patients,

Artificial Iris Implantation 

Presenter: Kevin Miller 


Objective: This course will provide a comprehensive overview of 

the artificial devices available from Morcher, Ophtec, and 

HumanOptics to reduce light and glare sensitivity in congenital 

and acquired aniridia. At the conclusion of the course, attendees 

will be able to describe the artificial irises that are available 

commercially. They will understand the directions for use 

associated with each device. They will know which devices are 

suitable for capsular bag implantation and which are suitable for 

sulcus implantation with or without suture fixation. They will be 

able to discuss how ocular comorbidities affect the choice of 

artificial iris to implant. They will also be able to describe 

common intraoperative problems and their solutions. 

Summary of Content: The course will consist of a series of 

lectures covering the various devices. Lectures will be supplemented 

by surgical video and followed by discussion and 

opportunity for audience questions and comments. The course 

is intended to focus on the “how to” so that participants can take 

the information learned back to their practices and immediately 

begin applying it.

Controversies in Management of 

Ocular Trauma 

Presenters: Rupesh Agrawal, Ferenc Kuhn, Michael Grant, Celia 

Chen, Gangadhara Sundar, Viktoria Mester, Lingam Gopal, Tarun 

Sharma 

Objectives: Despite steady advances in surgical instrumentation 

and technique, ophthalmic trauma continues to be a leading 

cause of visual loss worldwide. Controversy persists over the 

optimal management of the injured eye. Debate persists over 

surgical repair of severely traumatized eyes with no light 

perception, use of prophylactic antibiotics either systemic or 

intracameral or intravitreal, prophylactic cryopexy, and 

prophylactic scleral buckling. The role and timing of vitrectomy 

surgery in severe ocular trauma also remain topics of considerable 

debate, as does the role of vitrectomy in the management 

of magnetic intraocular foreign bodies. Similarly timing and 

optimal management of traumatic cataract with intraocular lens 

implantation and corneal scar management is also practice 

differently by different surgeons across the world. Management 

of orbital fractures and lid and adnexal trauma is an also area of 

considerable debate. Role of intravenous methylprednisolone 

and optic canal decompression in traumatic optic neuropathy is 

still controversial. Pediatric ocular trauma management also 

involves lot of unresolved debates. 

Summary of Content: Each of these issues will be discussed, 

with particular emphasis on conflicting views presented in the 

relevant literature along with critical appraisal of existing 

international ocular trauma classification.

Amblyopia Treatment: Review and 

New Advances 

Presenter: Shucri Shawaf 



Objective: To review the different modalities of amblyopia 

treatment and conclude by putting together a clear approach 

for the treatment of amblyopia. 

Summary of Content: To review the different modalities of 

amblyopia treatment and how they evolved through time, go 

over the major amblyopia trials (including the Amblyopia 

Treatment Studies), present the new advances (including the 

new software programs for the treatment of amblyopia, one of 

which got the FDA approval), pin point some pitfalls to avoid. 

This will include among others, the importance of a full exam to 

rule out any organic cause, the parameters to prescribe 

eyeglasses in children, when to start penalization (atropine 

versus patching), the amount of patching required, how to avoid 

the social and psychological stigma in children, stress on 

follow-ups for maintenance treatment. The attendees should be 

able by the end of this course to deal with any case of amblyopia, 

use the different modalities of amblyopia treatment.

Dual Scheimpflug Analysis of Anterior 

Segment 

Presenters: Carlos Arce, Pablo Suarez, Shady Awwad, Ronald 

Krugger, Waleed Al-Tuwairqi, Har Bor Fam 

Objective: To present the features and applications of the Galilei, 

a dual Scheimpflug and dual Placido analyzer of the anterior 

segment of the eye. 

Summary of Content: Galilei integrates Scheimpflug imaging of 

anterior segment of the eye and Placido topography to produce 

curvature, elevation, wavefront, shape, and pachymetry maps 

and indices, corneal and lens densitometry, and biometry of the 

anterior segment including anterior chamber depth, angle, and 

lens thickness. Applications include differential diagnosis of KC 

and PMD, identification of risk factors for refractive surgery and 

biomechanical features of the cornea, preoperative planning of 

cataract surgery or intracorneal segments, IOL calculation and

Uveitis and Systemic Disease. How to 

Manage the Cases Where the First Signs 

Concern the Eye Alone 

Presenters: Chris Kalogeropoulos, Khalid Tabbara, Ilknur Tugal, 

Sofia Androudi, Alexander Charonis 

Objective: The aim of the course is to emphasize the need and the 

methods for diagnostic exploration and management with regard 

to underlying systemic disease in cases of uveitis (and scleritis), 

where the first symptoms and signs of the disease presence 

concern the eye alone. 

Summary of Content: The topics that will be presented and 

discussed in the course include cases of scleritis, tuberculous and 

syphilitic uveitis, Behcet disease, uveitis in juvenile rheumatoid 

arthritis, sarcoid uveitis and retinal/choroidal vasculitis in 

systemic lupus erythematosus. Characteristic cases, avoiding 

extremely easy or extremely uncommon ones, which would be

even though dismissed diagnostically, will be presented. In the 

end, taking also into consideration the experience resulting from 

the literature, guidelines are proposed based on analysis of the 

data in order to extrapolate in similar cases in the future.

Muscle Transposition in Strabismus 

Surgery 

Presenters: Dalal Shawky, Lobna Khazbak 

Objective: This course aims to perform the ophthalmologists 

specialised in strabismology to perform all the advanced 

surgical procedures of muscle transposition used in difficult 

strabismus cases 

Summary of Contents: This course contains the different types 

of muscle transposition with the indication and method of each; 

transposition of horizontal rect for A and V pattern, Horizontal 

recti transposition for correction of additional vertical strabismus, 

vertical recti transposition for torsional strabismus,Y 

splitting of the Lateral rect in Duane syndrome with upshoot, 

Knapp, Jenssen and Hummelsheim procedures for a paralysed 

and for a lost muscle, and finally the graded Inferior Oblique 

muscle transposition. Techniques are shown by animation. 

Objective: To discuss the management options available for the 

treatment of refractory glaucomas through the presentation of 

representative difficult cases. 

Summary of Content: Management of intractable glaucomas 

such as neovascular glaucoma, glaucoma following vitreoretinal 

surgery, glaucoma following penetrating Keratoplasty, 

malignant glaucoma as well as glaucoma associated with 

keratoprostheses remains a challenge to the glaucoma surgeon. 

Management of these problems has shifted from the use of 

cyclodestructive procedures, to the use of drainage devices 

which is the current treatment of choice in most situations. 

We plan to present 4 representative case scenarios of the 

various subtypes of refractory glaucomas and discuss the 

problems in diagnosis, surgical treatment and expected 

complications in each case. 

Target Audience: Glaucoma Sub-Specialists

Education Without Borders: The Future for 

Young Ophthalmologists 

Presenters: Anthony Khawaja, Manal Taryam, Sanjay Kedhar 

Objective: To provide an engaging platform for discussion of 

important international education issues with a young 

ophthalmologist audience. 

This symposium/course has been developed jointly by the YO 

(Young Ophthalmologist) committees of MEACO, SOE and AAO. 

The theme for the session is education, the issues young 

ophthalmologists across the globalising world are now facing, 

and how best to make the most of opportunities, and face 

challenges. 

The session will take the form of a chat-show, hosted by a 

MEACO representative, and speakers will be the guests on the 

chat-show. Each topic will be addressed primarily using a 

question and answer session. This will provide an entertaining 

and engaging format to present esoteric but important issues 

to a young audience. 

The session topics will be: 

• Setting up residency programmes in the Middle East - The 

Arab Board 

• Opportunities and resources available for establishing 

residency programmes 

• European Board of Ophthalmology - Europe harmonising 

ophthalmic education 

• Arranging a fellowship abroad - pearls and pitfalls 

• Surgical training - how do we set the standards 

• Modern social media in ophthalmology.

Childhood Proptosis: Evaluation and 

Management 

Presenters: Imtiaz Chaudhry, Arif Khan, Adel Alsuhaibani, Yonca 

Arat 

Objective: To familiarize the attendee with common benign and 

malignant processes that can affect the orbit in children with an 

emphasis on the systematic and practical approach for the 

work-up and treatment of proptosis. 

Summary of Content: Proptosis describes eye prominence due 

to space occupying orbital lesions. Proptosis in children is a 

hallmark of orbital diseases requiring thoughtful investigation. 

While acquired lesions may present at the end of first decade of 

life, congenital lesions usually present early in life. Some of the 

common causes of proptosis in children include cystic lesions, 

orbital cellulitis and pseudotumor, less common are optic nerve 

gliomas and meningiomas. Rhabdomyosarcoma can present 

with acute proptosis. Secondary orbital processes invade the 

orbit from adjacent structures. Distant metastases include 

neuroblastoma and Ewing's sarcoma. Although many orbital 

processes can be diagnosed by history, examination and 

imaging studies, ultimate diagnosis rests upon pathological 

diagnoses. The course will cover illustrative clinical cases that 

may include, the most common benign, malignant and 

metatstatic processes faced by general as well as subspecialists 

encountering such patients.

Optimizing the Outcome with Posterior 

Chamber Phakic IOL (ICL) Implantation for 

Refractive Errors with Thin Cornea 

Presenters: Satyamyrthy Kodur, Ramamurthy D, Amar Agarwal, 

Arup Chakrabarti, Ramesh Gampa 

Synopsis: In all those patients who are not suitable for Lasik or 

surface ablation due to thin cornea various options such as 

phakic IOL implantation and refractive lens exchange are 

available. Implantation of collamar lens in the posterior 

chamber is an ideal and easier choice in these patients. This 

course is aimed at simplifying the Implantable Contact Lens 

(ICL) implantation and optimizing the outcome and it also 

deals with material and design of ICL, indications, contra 

indications and patient selection, pre operative preparation, 

surgical technique of implanting spherical and toric ICL and ICL 

complications. 

105

Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy-All You 

Need to Know! 

Presenters: Ian Wong, Wico Lai, David Wong 

Objectives: To highlight the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, 

treatment strategies, and future developments in polypoidal 

choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). 

Summary of Content: PCV is characterized by recurrent 

subretinal pigment epithelial hemorrhages. Before 

indocyanine-green angiography (ICG) imaging was popular, PCV 

was sometimes misdiagnosed as neovascular age-related 

macular degeneration (AMD). With the advent of imaging 

modalities and deeper understandings of the disease, PCV is 

now recognized as a separate entity, with its own unique profile 

of clinical manifestations. Treatment strategy towards PCV has 

been revolutionized by recent clinical trials using combination 

therapy with ranibizumab and verteporfin. Currently, significant 

differences exist between treatment for PCV and neovascular 

AMD. There is a clear need in distinguishing PCV from 

neovascular AMD. 

Clinical photos, ICG findings, and optical coherence tomography 

scans will be used to illustrate real cases. Small quiz towards end 

of course will help audience fortify knowledge acquired. 

At the conclusion of this course, the audience will be able to 

distinguish a case of PCV, from a case of neovascular AMD. They 

will know how to formulate treatment strategies for a new case 

of PCV, and the most up-to-date evidences involved.

Management of Complex Strabismus 

Situations 

Presenters: Ramakrishnan Subramaniam, Venkateshwar Rao 

Bhoompally, Rajesh Prabu, Sandra Ganesh 

Objective: Strabismus surgery, though appears simple and 

straightforward, is not so in all situations. There are some 

complex situations in strabismus where surgical plans becomes 

really challenging. This symposium will discuss few of such 

complex scenarios. 

Summary of Contents: Management of Consecutive deviations 

and resurgeries in strabismus is really challenging. The exact plan 

and outcome depends on various factors like previous surgical 

procedures done, adhesions etc. This discussion will be followed 

by the talk on Transposition Procedures. Muscle transposition is 

indicated in cases like Double Elevator Palsy, Nerve palsies etc. 

The surgical plan, chances of post operative anterior segment 

Ischemia etc has to be kept in mind. Vessel sparing procedures 

will also be discussed in this context. Many of these complex 

strabismus do better with adjustable suture technique and the 

next talk will focus on this. Vertical, restrictive and pattern 

strabismus needs special mention and we will discuss 

management issues in the above situations with case examples.
