Phaco-trabeculectomy: The Combined Separate Approach for
Managing Co-existing Cataract and Glaucoma
Khalil Ahmad (1)
1. Research Institute of Ophthalmology
Surgical techniques for managing co-existing cataract and glaucoma abound,
starting from cataract surgery alone to performing the cataract and glaucoma
surgeries in the same eye either in separate sessions or combined together. In
the combined approach, the type and site of glaucoma surgery as well as the
phaco incision site vary and can affect the outcome. Presented is a combined
procedure performed through totally separate sites, giving optimum conditions
for the success of both the cataract and glaucoma surgeries.

Intraocular Lens Exchange
Gabric Nikica (1)
1. Eye Clinic Svjetlost
Intraocular lens exchange (ILE) is basically cataract surgery procedure in order
to provide refractive errors correction. Generally enables elderly patients who
are not suitable candidates for corneal refractive procedures and patient with
special needs such as correction of both far and near distance vision at once
to achieve high rate of spectacle independence. We will present former results
in patients who underwent ILE in Eye Hospital Svjetlost with accent on ILE
followed by implantation of different types of multifocal IOLs.

Bag in the Lens
Neuhann Tobias
This special technique makes posterior capsular opacification practically
impossible. An anterior and posterior capsulorhexis is made, a special IOL
with no haptics but rather grooves on its edge, is placed that the two rhexes
fit snuggly in the grooves, suspending this remarkable IOL designed by
M.Tassignon. This IOL is the new state-of-art intraocular lens for babies, young
and elder children avoiding secondary cataract formation in any case. The
surgery comes from the Augenklinik Marienplatz in Munich, Germany.

Glued IOL Surgery

1. Dr. Agarwal›s Eye Hospital
The glued IOL technique will be described via surgical videos. The technique
for foldable glued IOL and the handshake technique for successfully transferring
haptic from one hand to another will be described.

Presbia Refractive Surgery
Pallikaris Ioannis (1)
1. University of Crete
The purpose of this presentation is to describe the surgical technique of
presbyopia treatment using the intracorneal inlay Flexivue Micro-Lens
(Presbia). The inlay is a transparent hydrogel-based refractive which is
implanted into the corneal stroma of the non-dominant eye. An intrastromal
pocket is implanted using a femtosecond laser. After the creation of the pocket,
the inlay is implanted using an appropriate inserter. Then it is centered in the
line of sight using as a guide-point the first Purkinje reflex of the centration
system of the excimer laser. The technique is safe, reversible and has an easy
learning curve.

Femtosecond in Cataract
Nagy Zoltan (1)
1. Department of Ophthalmology, Semmelweis University
During the Live Surgery video course the principle of femtolaser in cataract
refractive surgery will be presented such as: capsulorhexis, fragmentation /
liquefaction of the crystalline lens, creation of corneal wound and reduction
of corneal astigmatism with the femtolaser. The importance of in-built OCT
will be shown, how it helps the surgery for the treating ophthalmologist. At the
end of the presentation participants will be able to understand the advantages,

Small Pupil Management
Malyugin Boris (1)
1. S.Fyodorov Eye Micrsurgery Complex
In patients with insufficient mydriasis observed at the beginning of the
procedure, we prefer to follow a step-wise approach starting with intracameral
injection of unpreserved epinephrine, followed by posterior synechiolysis,
gentle iris stretching and then decide regarding the use the mechanical pupil
expander. The Malyugin ring (MST) is an iris expander having a square
shape and 4 circular curls. In this presentation, we describe different surgical
techniques with the Malyugin ring in variable clinical situations.

Sleep Apnea Syndrome: Incidence and Significance
Nordmann Jean-Philippe (1)
1. Hôpital Quinze-Vingts
Obstructive: Sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with systemic
morbidity. OSAS has been reported in association with POAG or NTG. It
can be assessed by simplified polysomnography. The prevalence of OSAS
in glaucoma patients who snore could reach up to 44%. This finding implies
that ophthalmologists should keep this association in mind for the purpose
of screening for vascular risk factors liable to aggravate glaucomatous optic
pathology. OSAS can be treated successfully even though no direct effect on
the visual field of glaucoma patients has yet been established.

Corneal Hysteresis: A New Target in Glaucoma Progression?
Radcliffe Nathan (1)
1. Weill Cornell Medical College
Evidence suggests that corneal hysteresis (CH) is more than an IOP correction
factor. CH is independently associated with glaucoma progression. CH is
correlated with glaucoma damage. Additionally, baseline CH is related to the
IOP lowering response to topical PGA drops. Finally, CH can be increased with
IOP lowering therapy, making CH a new modifiable glaucoma risk factor along
with ocular perfusion pressure. Therefore, it may be time to consider whether
CH could represent a novel target in glaucoma.

New Approach for NPG Pathogenesis – Structure and Function
Sugiyama Kazuhisav (1)
1. Kanazawa University, Department of Ophtalmology
We developed simultaneous structure and function evaluation technique
combining spectral-domain (SD) OCT and fundus-oriented perimeter for
detection of visual field abnormalities in retinal nerve fiber layer defect (RNFLD)
area. We superimposed the ganglion cell complex map by SD-OCT on the
fundus-oriented perimeter image. We observed very early or preperimetric
normal pressure glaucoma and also disc hemorrhage site located adjacent
to the border of RNFLD. The borderline of RNFLD seemed to be the thinnest
RNFL and the lowest retinal sensitivity.

Disc Hemorrhage: The Incidence and Significance
Ho Park Ki (1)
1. Seoul National University College of Medicine
Disc hemorrhage (DH) is a well-known risk factor for glaucoma progression.
Our recent study including 387 NTG patients and 205 POAG patients has found
that the period prevalence and incidence rates of glaucomatous DHs were
33.3 % and 0.46 ± 0.18 times/year in NTG, and 17.6 % and 0.34 ± 0.23 times/
year in POAG, respectively. This reflects the existence of IOP independent risk
factor in the pathogenesis of DH. The chance to detect DH increases up to 5
