Keratoplasty is the procedure whereby abnormal corneal tissue is replaced by<br />
a healthy donor cornea. It has been performed for over a century and has been<br />
the most common and most successful form of human transplantation. Corneal<br />
transplantation continues to evolve and emerging techniques offer the potential of<br />
a truly customised personal transplant material within a generation.<br />
This course will discuss the advances in Keratoplasty, developments in corneal<br />
donation and approach to post-operative care of a corneal transplant recipient.<br />

Continuing optometry education is organised bi-monthly to help professionals keep<br />
abreast on the up-to-date knowledge and technology related to Optometry. This<br />
ensures that Optometrists maintain their knowledge and practise at a competent<br />
level and participate in continuing professional education activities.<br />
Continuing professional education (CPE) consists of educational activities that<br />
serve to maintain, develop or increase the knowledge, skills and professional<br />
performance of optometrists and opticians. It is important for the practitioners to<br />
continue upgrading their professional competence to provide up-to-date services<br />
to the public. To ensure this, the optometrists and opticianary Board oversees a CPE<br />
framework to help practitioners to stay conversant.<br />
