COS-6 Clinical Update - Cornea
Symposium on Keratoconus and Ectasia
Sunday, June 27, 0830-1000
Room 206 AB
Description
The Symposium on Keratoconus and Ectasia provides an opportunity for the general ophthalmologist to actively engage in a discussion of current issues in the diagnosis and management of keratoconus and ectasia. The discussion topics encourage reflection on clinical knowledge of corneal conditions, and on the ophthalmologist�s role as a communicator.
Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- integrate knowledge from new surgical techniques in keratoconus
- demonstrate enhanced ability to manage challenging keratoconus cases
- compare different approaches to the management of keratoconus
