Course Description
The course will explore unusual case scenarios with innovative solutions. Topics such as suspect topography, enlarged mesopic pupil size, corneal epithelium’s masking effect, and the role of associated ocular and systemic conditions will be discussed. The course will also cover strategies for managing unexpected outcomes, such as undercorrections and overcorrections and handling dissatisfied patients despite good visual results.

Educational Objective
The primary challenge in refractive surgery lies more in decision-making and case selection than in the surgical procedure itself. This instructional course addresses the grey areas where consensus and clear guidelines are lacking, posing challenges for beginner as well as experienced surgeons. The course will be entirely case-based and discussion-based.
