The course, New and Emerging Technologies in Cataract and Refractive Surgery was held again at this year’s ASCRS meeting in Boston. Dr. Jonathan Davidorf is the Senior Instructor and course organizer.
The course covers investigational and newly FDA-approved technologies and techniques, including presbyopic and phakic IOLs, new cataract extraction techniques including femtosecond cataract surgery and intraoperative wavefront measurements, new femtosecond lasers for refractive lenticule extraction and penetrating keratoplasty, endothelial and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty, intracorneal lenses and multifocal excimer and intrastromal femtosecond laser treatments for presbyopia , and the i-Stent for glaucoma.
“I was very pleased with the material presented, the involvement of our terrific faculty, and the insightful questions and discussion generated by the doctors who attended,” said Dr. Davidorf. “A special thanks is due our faculty: Ike Ahmed, Anthony Aldave, Michael Colvard, Dan Durrie, Richard Lindstrom, Robert Maloney, Mark Packer, and Jim Salz.” The Course will be presented again, with updated material, at the American Academy of Ophthalmology Annual Meeting this Fall in Chicago.
