Instructional Course: Comprehensive anterior segment evaluation for cataract and refractive surgery

Comprehensive clinical screening prior to refractive lens and corneal as well as cataract surgery is mandatory. Important parameters and the implementation into the clinical routine for corneal topography, Scheimpflug evaluation and OCT is explained. Premium IOL selection based on objectively derived and relevant corneal data and patients habits is essential for the clinical success and the satisfaction of our patients. A clear methodology and step-by-step approach is taught. The first clinical studies about accuracy and clinical outcomes using optical biometry build-into a rotating Scheimpflug camera will be shown and discussed as well.
