Hall A1, PEACH
This symposium delivers practical insights into managing complex surgical scenarios, from cataract in eyes with corneal and endothelial disease to challenging cases involving corneal pathology, phakic IOLs, and systemic illness.
Expert-led sessions will explore evolving innovations including gene therapy, ocular surface optimisation for MGD-related dry eye, and advanced treatment strategies to enhance surgical outcomes. The programme concludes with cutting-edge approaches beyond the capsular bag, featuring the Yamane intrascleral fixation technique for vision restoration in Marfan patients, supported by interactive case discussions throughout.
