This symposium equips new refractive surgeons with foundational knowledge crucial for success. Key topics include essential diagnostics like corneal topography and wavefront analysis for accurate patient selection, managing higher-order aberrations to enhance visual outcomes, and selecting the appropriate IOLs (monofocal, enhanced monofocal, EDOF). Real-world case studies will highlight practical challenges, refi ning surgical skills and improving patient care.
