Objective: To update regarding recent advances in corneal transplantation
surgery; anterior and posterior lamellar keratoplasty. Content: corneal
transplantation surgery has witnessed revolutionary change over the past
decade. Anterior & 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. Educational level: intermediate

Low Vision Basics
Desai Sanjiv (1)
1. Tarabai Desai Eye Hospital
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 & 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.
