Eyelid Surgery in Thyroid Eye Disease
Lucarelli Mark (1)
1. University of Wisconsin
The most common finding in thyroid eye disease is eyelid retraction. Surgical
repair of eyelid retraction is often challenging and unpredictable-considerably
more so than repair of involutional ptosis. The modified Koornneef fullthickness
blepharotomy is a very useful technique. The dissection is not
complex, no spacers are utilized, and the technique is relatively quick. The
incremental nature of this technique leads to improved results. The key steps
will be described and illustrated.

Recent Advances in Thyroid Eye Disease
Silkiss Rona (1)
1. California Pacific Medical Center
This lecture will discuss recent therapeutic advances in thyroid eye disease.
This will include use of agents from intravenous steroids and novel biologics
such as Rituximab to over the counter preparations such as Selenium.
The proposed mechanism of action of these medications will be reviewed.
Additionally, the indications for use of these various agents as well as their
potential risks and benefits will be discussed explicitly.

Status of Competing Systems
Knorz Michael (1)
1. FreeVis LASIK Zentrum Mannheim
Laser refractive cataract surgery using a femto second laser is a new approach
to improve outcomes in cataract surgery. Several systems are available today.
Systems designed to perform laser refractive cataract surgery only are the
Alcon LenSx laser, the Optimedica laser and the Lens AR laser. Combined
systems, used for flaps and other corneal surgery also are available from
Technolas Perfect Vision and from AMO. This presentation will compare these
systems.

Clinical Results with LenSx
Nagy Zoltan (1)
1. Department of Ophthalmology, Semmelweis University
During the presentation the most important clinical results of femtolaser
refractive cataract surgery will be shown, regarding safety and effectivity as:
postoperative refraction, centration of the posterior chamber lens and the most
important clinical factors in PCL centration, quality of vision, change in higher
order aberrations, postoperative endothelial cells and macular changes will
be shown.

Clinical Results with LensAR
Tackman Ramon Naranjo (1)
1. Universidad Nacional Autonoma
Femtosecond lasers provide discreet photodisruption, with great precision and
very little collateral damage. The accurate results obtained in both capsulotomy
and the cutting within the lens nucleus (both soft and hard) during cataract
surgery have reduced the need of larger phaco powers and even suppress it.
The visual and safety results are presented, as well as the current treatments
to soften the lens to restore accommodation in presbyopes.

Clinical Results with CustomLens
Aufarth Gerd (1)
1. Department of Ophthalmology, University Clinic of Heidelberg
The latest innovation in cataract surgery is the use of femtosecond laser (fs).
The TECHNOLAS 520F laser assists the surgeon performing capsulorhexis,
lens fragmentations and corneal incisions. First clinical evaluations confirmed
a greater control and precision with a high level of safety and predictability.
In Heidelberg fs laser capsulorhexis and lens fragmentation was performed
uneventful in patients presenting with challenging clinical findings, such as
very dense and mature cataracts or pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
