This course aims to provide pragmatic and comprehensive information on surgical correction of astigmatism for the cataract surgeon. This year theory will be kept to the essentials, and more documented clinical-cases will be presented to evolve towards intermediate/advanced level. Debatable indications, unexpected refractive outcomes, complications and primary/secondary corrections in toric surgery will be interactively presented and discussed.
