Objective: To identify corneal endothelial dystrophies, degenerations and
corneas with risk of decompensation in intraocular surgeries such as cataract
and refractive, using corneal specular microscope.
Summary of Content: To understand and analyze relatively normal values over
a lifetime of the endothelial cell density, endothelial cell area, polymegethism
by coefficient of variation and pleomorphism by hexagonal cell percentage.
To know the reliability indices for each endothelial examination. Know the
endothelial features in: cornea guttata, corneal and endothelial dystrophies,
endothelial degeneration, obstetric traumatism, contuse and/or cut-contuse
trauma, contact lens users, intra-ocular surgery, photorefractive surgery, IOL
implantation in anterior chamber, corneal transplantation, corneal edema,
uveitis, glaucoma and endothelitis.
Target Audience: General Ophthalmologists and Subspecialists
Educational Level: Beginning and Intermediate

1. Department of Ophthalmology, University of Florida College of Medicine
2. Bascom Palmer Eye Institute
Objective: At the conclusion of the course, the pediatric and comprehensive
ophthalmologist will have a better understanding of different inherited retinal
degenerations - diagnosis, differential diagnosis utilizing clinical features and
diagnostic testing, when needed.
Summary of Content: This course will provide a step-by-step approach leading
to the diagnosis of inherited retinal degenerations in infants and young children.
This will be based on case-based scenarios using ocular history, family history,
clinical findings and diagnostic testing, when applicable. Interactive discussion
of diagnostic testing will also include optical coherence tomography (OCT),
electrophysiological testing and genetic testing.
Target Audience: Pediatric Ophthalmologist, Comprehensive Ophthalmologist

Educational Objective: Attendee will be able to design the best corneal
treatment profile for each presbyopic patient according to his age, error of
refraction, and corneal measurements.
Course Description: Course will discuss different corneal methods of correcting
presbyopia including Allegretto Custom-Q, Visx presbyLASIK, Amaris
PresbyMAX, and Femtec INTRACOR. Presbyopia and its adaptive optics
will be demonstrated. The suggested course plan (2 hours). Dr. Kruger:
Opening course with basics of presbyopia and its management including its
adaptive optics (20 min). Dr. Tamayo: Visx presbyLASIK ( hyperope, myope)
(20 min). Dr. Khalifa : Allegretto custom-Q. (20 min). Dr. Alio: Schwind Amaris
PresbyMAX (20 min). Dr. Wahab: Femtec intracor. (15 min). Dr. Kruger & Dr.
Khalifa: Decision tree and closing. (10 min). Discussion: (15 min).
Target Audience: Subspecialists

Visco-canalostomie: Entre Présent et Futur
Elafrit Mohamed Ali
La viscocanalostomie est une technique non pénétrante introduite par
Stegmann .Cette technique à priori séduisante, est caractérisée par un
cathétérisme et une dilatation du canal de Schlemm. L ‹humeur aqueuse
emprunte donc un chemin plus physiologique. Le succès n›est donc pas
tributaire de la qualité de la cicatrice opératoire. Cette technique a affichée ses
limites. La canaloplastie représente la même technique améliorée et semble
prometteuse.
