Satellite CME Program

ASCRS Glaucoma Refractive Satellite CME Symposium

Refractive Surgery in the Glaucoma Patient

ASCRS Satellite CME Symposium

Date: Saturday, April 26, 2025
Lunch and Registration: 11:30am PT
Program: 12:00pm – 1:00pm PT
Location: Los Angeles Convention Center, Concourse Hall, Room 150-151

Description: This symposium is a joint venture between the Refractive Surgery and Glaucoma Clinical Committees. Attendees will learn about refractive management in patients with glaucoma including preoperative assessments, intraoperative strategies, and post operative refractive considerations in patients with glaucoma.

Educational Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, attendees should be able to:

Describe the key considerations for performing cataract refractive surgery in glaucoma patients, including preoperative assessment and patient selection
Evaluate the diﬀerent types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) for refractive cataract surgery in glaucoma patients.
Analyze the impact of glaucoma medications on ocular surface health and cataract surgery outcomes.
Analyze the impact of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) on refractive cataract surgery outcomes and develop strategies for optimizing both glaucoma management and refractive results in combined procedures.
