Artificial Iris Implantation
Presenter: Kevin Miller
13:30 - 15:00 Capital Suite 2
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.
Target Audience: General Ophthalmologists and Subspecialists
Educational Level: Intermediate

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.
Target Audience: Subspecialists
Course Level: Advanced

Amblyopia Treatment: Review and
New Advances
Presenter: Shucri Shawaf
13:30 - 15:00 Capital Suite 6
13:30 - 15:00 Capital Suite 8
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.
