The Ophthalmic premier league (OPL) is a symposia to be conducted in the
WOC 2012 in Abu Dhabi. This is akin to the European league games but with a
difference as the OPL is connected to ophthalmology. The idea here is to have
4 teams with 4 captains. Each will have totally 4 members in the team. Each
team member will be given 4 minutes to show the most challenging cataract /
complication cataract case. This will only be through videos. In the video the
speaker will also have to show how he or she has managed this case. There
will be a good discussion on each case for the remaining time. We can also
have an ARS (Automatic response system) if available for audience to enjoy
and vote which is the best team. All the speakers are top class with excellent
videos.
Managing Complicated Glaucoma

Uveitic Glaucoma
Kedhar Sanjay (1)
1. The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary
Glaucoma is one of the most dreaded complications of uveitis, affecting up to
20% of patients with the disease. The risk of complications in the medical
and surgical treatment of uveitic glaucoma is not insignificant. Concurrent
management of intraocular inflammation is essential for successful outcomes.
This talk will focus on multiple aspects of uveitic glaucoma management
including medical therapies for inflammation, surgical management and
perioperative considerations.

There is an increasing trend in Diabetic retinopathy which is a leading cause of
Neovascular Glaucoma. Glaucoma has attended endemic proportions in Africa
and this is a cause of Central Retinal Vein Occlusion, which if poorly managed
can result in Neovascular Glaucoma. These cases are currently being seen in
most clinics in sub-Saharan Africa and can cause untold pain and increased
morbidity resulting in reduced quality of life in these patients.

Iridocorneal Endothelial Syndrome
Ragusa Nikola (1)
1. SUNY Downstate Ophthalmology Department
Iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome is a progressive anterior segment
disease that typically manifests in early adulthood, usually in women,
unilaterally. It is a condition that is difficult to manage and can lead to corneal
edema, increased intraocular pressure, and glaucoma. A century after it has
first been described, ICE syndrome still has no clear etiology and poses a
treatment dilemma even for the best clinicians. Details regarding the variants
of the ICE syndrome, differential diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment
are reviewed.

Glaucoma Surgery in the Penetrating Keratoplasty Patient
Radcliffe Nathan (1)
1. Weill Cornell Medical College
Glaucoma and corneal disease often coexist. Many secondary glaucomas
(e.g., acute angle closure glaucoma) can cause corneal decompensation,
requiring corneal transplantation. Complications from cataract surgery can
cause both corneal disease and glaucoma and can make management
difficult. Trabeculectomy may lead to corneal endothelial loss and furthermore,
trabeculectomy may be challenging in patients with common causes of corneal
disease. This presentation will review treatments for glaucoma in patients with
corneal disease, with an emphasis on tube shunt surgical techniques.

Glaucoma and Keratoprosthesis
Shihadeh Wisam (1)
1. Jordan University Of Science and Technology
Glaucoma is a common blinding condition that can complicate keratoprosthesis
surgery. Early diagnosis is considered a challenge. Elevated intraocular
pressure and changes in the optic nerve head should result in a high index
of suspicion for glaucoma. Management is frequently surgical and typically
entails placement of a glaucoma shunt.

When the Last Fiber has to be Preserved
Mermoud Andre (1)
1. Visionplus SA
In very advanced glaucoma, there are very few remaining optic nerve fibres
and often advanced visual field damages. Glaucoma surgery may be a
challenge. The risk of snuff out syndrome is rare but this particular condition will
be the worries of the surgeon and patient. To reduce the risk of post operative
complications, several less invasive techniques compared to trabeculectomy
should be proposed, deep sclerectomy, viscocanalostomy, viscocanaloplasty
and other alternative option to trabeculectomy will be presented. Results on
some long term studies, technique and complications will be presented.
