Synkinetic Ptosis: A Challenge
Grover Ashok (1)
1. Sir Ganga Ram Hospital
Synkinetic ptosis, either jaw winking or acquired following a palsy of the third
nerve, poses a challenge to the ingenuity of the Oculoplastic surgeon. He must
aim to abolish jaw winking, correct ptosis, while maintaining symmetry in all
directions of gaze. This presentation brings out an evaluation of the available
techniques and the presenter›s experience with bilateral levator excision and
bilateral fascia lata surgery in the condition.

Precision in Aponeurotic Ptosis
Lucarelli Mark (1)
1. University of Wisconsin
The ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon may frequently be called upon to
repair aponeurotic (involutional) ptosis. Despite the surgeon›s familiarity with
this commonly encountered problem and with the underlying anatomy, surgical
results may sometimes be unpredictable and occasionally disappointing. Many
of the variables that lead to unpredictable results with external levator repair
can be managed intraoperatively. Improved results are possible by minimizing
these variables. When disappointing results are seen, they can often be
salvaged with office revision at approximately 2 weeks post-operative.

Management Options for Severe Unilateral Ptosis
Alsuhaibani Adel (1)
1. King Saud University
Severe unilateral ptosis may result from different kinds of etiologies and
represents a treatment challenge. Causes of severe ptosis, indications for
treatment, surgical options, possible complications, and keys for success in
management of this condition will be discussed.

Excimer Laser Surgery: How to Push the Limits

Lasik in Hyperopia Over 5 diopters
de Ortueta Diego (1)
1. AURELIOS Augenlaserzentrum
The limits of hyperopic LASIK are due to the induced aberrations. Most of them
due to problems with the centration and in other cases due to small flaps as
the hyperopic eyes are smaller and flatter. We must define where we want to
center the ablation and then maintain alignment. The new aspherical profiles
create smoother transition zones and take into account that the laser spot
efficacy diminishes at the periphery. The smoother transition zone and bigger
optical zone gives also stable results.

Surgery of High Myopia Over 10 diopters
Alio Jorge (1)
1. Vissum Corporation
WOC2012 Abstract Book
Surgery of high myopia involves important medical decisions concerning
quality of life of the myopic patient. Corneal correction of high refractive errors
has traditionally led to higher order ocular aberrations. Recent evidence shown
in this presentation indicates that modern 6th generation excimer lasers are
able to safely correct high myopia up to -13 diopters in adequately selected
eyes. This presentation shows the authors algorithm for modern indication
of high myopia with either excimer laser, phakic intraocular lenses angle
supported, iris supported and lens supported associated or not with toric
corrections.

Surgery of Astigmatism Over 4 diopters
El-Danasoury Alaa (1)
1. Magrabi Hospitals and Centers
Correction of high amounts of astigmatism is still a challenge. A review of
different modalities for correction of Astigmatism over 4 diopters will be
presented including cross cylinder excimer laser ablation, Femtosecond
Astigmatic keratectomy and Toric phakic IOLs.

Surface Ablation Limits
Carones Francesco (1)
1. Carones Ophthalmology Center
Surface ablation is still widely performed to correct wide ranges of refractive
errors. The use of wound-healing modulators such as mitomycin C, as well as
the adoption of surgical strategies which less stimulate wound healing (cooling
agents, LASEK, EpiLASIK) allow to obtain good clinical results even for high
corrections. This presentation will discuss the current limits when correcting
myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia, and will provide the audience with updated
knowledge on how to successfully reach these limits without encountering side
effects and complications.

Multifocal Presbyopic Profiles
Tamayo Gustavo (1)
1. Bogota Laser
The excimer laser correction of Presbyopia is based on creation of specific
high order aberrations that increase the depth of focus and allow patients to
see near and distance and get independence to glasses. The different profiles
from different excimer laser systems will be analyzed and presented as well as
their optical and physical properties. The complete evaluation of those different
optical aberrations will clarify that the option to treat presbyopia on the cornea
can be obtained safely and with excellent results.
