EW SHOW DAILY 78 Meeting Reporter Saturday, May 6, 2017 • Iris suture • Microinvasive glaucoma surgery • Iris prosthesis • Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) There are sessions for all levels of surgeons, including beginners, experienced, or those who need a refresher. The femtosecond laser cataract surgery sessions will be intensive, 90-minute, hands-on introductions to the four dominant cataract laser platforms in the U.S., said Kevin Miller, MD, Skills Transfer subcom- mittee member. Participants will be able to practice techniques for inte- grating femtosecond laser technolo- gy and associated anterior segment imaging into premium cataract surgery. Attendees will be allotted hands-on time with the various platforms under the guidance of physician instructors and industry technical support teams. Discussions will include how femtosecond lasers assist with the treatment of corneal astigmatism, the capsulotomy, and lens fragmentation, as well as op- tions for managing difficult cases. In addition to the course in- structors, each course will feature a number of faculty who can help students as they practice the various surgical techniques that they have learned. Each Skills Transfer session requires a separate registration fee. Some of the Skills Transfer sessions have prerequisite courses, and some are already sold out.
