  Malpositioned lenses: optimal surgical management techniques Pre Requisite Course

  Leader: B. Malyugin | Course Level: Advanced

• Faculty:    M.J. Tassignon   E. Assia   V. Pfeifer   A. Crandall   S. Yamane  

  This is a pre-requisite course for the wetlab(s):

  COURSE DESCRIPTION: : The course is focused on advanced surgical techniques in management of ectopic lenses and cataracts complicated by zonular weakness and/or dialysis utilizing various
  capsular supporting devices. Participants will benefit from learning
  different IOL centration and re-fixation modalities, as well as IOL exchange techniques followed by lens iris and scleral fixation techniques.
  
  COURSE OBJECTIVES: : Moderate to severe subluxation of the natural crystalline lens can be effectively
  treated using the conventional and modified CTRs, capsular tension segment or capsular Anchor sutured to the scleral wall. Video presentation of a series of cases
  will provide tips for safe and efficient surgery. Capsular peeling as a part of the
  technique to restore the integrity of the capsular bag will be shown in different
  cases of postoperative capsular contraction. The implications of torqued IOL in
  inducing reduction in visual quality and lenticular astigmatism will be discussed.
  Participants will benefit from learning the techniques of suturing various types of
  malpositioned IOLs to the sclera and/or to the iris in order to provide stable and long term
  fixation. Novel intrascleral haptic fixation techniques including Scharioth tunnels and flanged IOL haptics will be described in details.
