2010 Schedule of Courses
DSEK/DSAEK With An Introduction to DMEK/DMAEK
After five years, what do we know about DSEK? Why should you be doing it? Essentially refractive neutral; rapid visual recovery; tectonically stronger eye intra-operatively and post-operatively; even with a loss of a line of Snellen vision, many patients prefer DSEK eye; accepted as the standard of care for Fuchs’ Dystrophy and Pseudophakic Bullous Keratopathy; eye banks now provide pre-cut tissue.
2010 course dates: Jan 12-13 l Mar 2-3 l Jun 22-23 l Nov 16-17
Two-day course: Registration fee: $3,000 (Up to 14 hours of Category 1 CME).
DMEK/DMAEK (for experienced DSEK/DSAEK surgeons)
The tissue is like a jelly fish! Why even consider DMEK? Intended to be refractive neutral. May address the most common reason for repeat DSEK: wrinkles/folds in visual area of graft. When it works, DMEK makes the eye look perfect. May not replace DSEK for some cases; need to know when DMEK and when DSEK.
2010 course dates: Feb 9 l Apr 15 l May 11 l Aug 17 l Sep 14 l Dec 14
One-day course: Registration fee: $2,400 (Category 2 CME)
ANTERIOR LAMELLAR KERATOPLASY
ALK / DALK: Recommended for keratoconus and corneal scars. Minimizes rejection risk by retaining recipient endothelium; ALK has longer life expectancy than PK; complete stromal removal with big bubble technique provides best visual outcomes.
2010 course date: Oct 5-6
One-day course: Registration fee: $2,000 (Category 2 CME)
PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY
Why pars plana vitrectomy for anterior segment surgeons? The PPV approach offers advantages over the anterior chamber approach for non-complicated vitrectomies in cases with vitreous prolapse, vitreous opacities and blocked filtration tubes. Potentially remove IOLs dislocated into the vitreous cavity.
2010 course date: Jul 20
One-day course: Registration fee: $2,000 (Category 2 CME)
