  IOL power calculation update by the IOL power club EBO Accredited

  Leader: G. Savini | Course Level: Advanced

• Faculty:    J. Aramberri   T. Olsen   J. Shammas   K. Hoffer     

  COURSE DESCRIPTION: : After a short overview of the current concepts the course will focus on the important steps to improve the refractive predictability with current formulas. Odd cases (post-LASIK) and toric IOLs may require special steps to overcome the prediction error seen with many formulas. Many new biometers have been introduced in recent years and the compatibility and accuracy of different devices should be addressed. Newer techniques for the estimation of the Estimated Lens Position (ELP) and ray tracing technology will be presented and what clinical results are to be anticipated
  
  COURSE OBJECTIVES: : Attendees will learn the principles of modern IOL power calculation and understand the means to improve the predictability of the refractive outcome
