EW SHOW DAILY 42 Meeting Reporter Sunday, April 19, 2015 by Erin Schallhorn EyeWorld Contributor Hardten, MD, Bonnie Henderson, MD, and Doug Koch, MD. The program is divided into 3 sections: preoperative considerations and a guide to diagnostics and marking, intraoperative pearls and an overview of alignment technolo- gies, and postoperative management of any potential residual error. The expert faculty will discuss the impor- tance of rotational stability, and the various technologies and techniques that ASCRS members may use to optimize outcomes and manage any refractive surprises. While many programs share outcomes with the latest technology, this program is unique because it brings an overview of the "contin- uum" of advanced resources that ASCRS members may have access to. The symposium is designed to maximize key takeaways for the intended audience: physicians who are interested in driving a greater adoption and maximizing outcomes with toric IOLs. This EyeWorld CME symposium will take place in the San Diego Convention Center, Hall E, EyeWorld Theater II, on Sunday evening. Reg- istration and a reception will take place at 4:45 p.m., with the 1-hour program from 5:15–6:15 p.m. This program is supported by unrestrict- ed grants from Alcon (Fort Worth, Texas), Bausch + Lomb (Bridgewater, N.J.), and Abbott Medical Optics (Abbott Park, Ill.). Onsite registra- tion space is available. EW 'Driving Adoption & Outcomes with Toric IOLs: Pre-, Intra-, and Postoperative Pearls for Success' EyeWorld CME program discusses keys to success with toric IOLs, from start to finish T his evening, John Vukich, MD, will lead a sympo- sium of experts on pearls for success with toric IOLs from start to finish: a pre-, intra-, and postoperative guide for adoption and outcomes. The faculty includes John Berdahl, MD, David 'Driving Laser Vision Correction in Today's Turbulent Environment: Quality Outcomes, Growth, and Confidence' by Erin Schallhorn EyeWorld Contributor T his evening, Stephen Lane, MD, and Eric Donnenfeld, MD, will lead a symposium of experts on how to drive laser vision correction in today's dynamic, sometimes turbulent, market. The faculty includes Steve Schallhorn, MD, Ed Manche, MD, Steven Dell, MD, and Dan Durrie, MD. Although the discussion of laser vision correction is not unique to many ASCRS programs, this symposium is unique for its realistic perspective on how to drive outcomes, confidence, and growth with current market conditions. The program has 3 distinctive discussions: the findings and impact of the recent FDA PROWL study, outcomes with next generation wavefront-guided and topography-guided ablations, and innovative growth strategies, such as how to target Millennials. The expert faculty will discuss the robust resources, such as excellent outcomes, technological advances, and marketing platforms that will help to reinvigorate the LVC space. The symposium is designed to maximize key takeaways for the intended audience: physicians who are interested in increasing their adoption of laser vision correction and are looking to maximize outcomes with appropriate patient groups. This EyeWorld CME symposium will take place in the San Diego Convention Center, Hall A, EyeWorld Theater I, on Sunday evening. Registration and a reception will take place at 4:45 p.m., with the 1-hour program from 5:15–6:15 p.m. This program is supported by an unrestricted grant from Abbott Medical Optics (Abbott Park, Ill.). Onsite registration is available. EW by EyeWorld Staff excimer laser systems, femtosecond lasers for cataract surgery, and toric and presbyopia-correcting IOLs. This session will address strat- egies for overcoming barriers to capital equipment acquisition and a close look at the bottom line im- pact of new technology. It will also feature an interactive case discussion highlighting best practices for sur- geons who are beginning to implant toric and presbyopia-correcting IOLs. Finally, panelists will share in- sights into how they initially gained access to and experience with new technology early in their careers. This EyeWorld CME symposium will take place in the San Diego Convention Center, Hall A, EyeWorld Theater I, on Monday morning. Registration and breakfast will take place at 6:00 a.m., with the 1-hour program from 6:30–7:30 a.m. This program is supported by unrestricted grants from Alcon (Fort Worth, Texas) and Bausch + Lomb (Bridge- water, N.J.).

EW 'Crossing the Finish Line: Launching Your Premium Technology Practice' CME symposium tackles the questions of where to start and how to invest in the right technology to develop a premium practice O n Monday morning, Bonnie An Henderson, MD, and Elizabeth Yeu, MD, will lead a panel of experts on incorporating advanced new technologies into a young practice. The faculty includes John Berdahl, MD, Sumit "Sam" Garg, MD, Kendall Donaldson, MD, and William Trattler, MD. This CME symposium is ideal for residents, fellows, and young ophthalmologists with less than 5 years in practice, and more estab- lished ophthalmologists who want to learn more about premium tech- nologies. The 2014 ASCRS Clinical Survey showed that young physi- cians often have limited experience with the very technologies they are most interested in, including
