Course Description
The course will be divided into 3 sections using case-based examples: 1.Pre-op: topo & keratometry, neovascularization (diathermy, MICE, Avastin) 2.Intra-op: sizing of graft, repeat grafts, small, very irregular grafts, femto PK/DALK, suturing techniques, DMEK for graft failure and recurrence of dystrophies in DALK 3.Post-op: incisional v/s femto mediated LCA, ablative techniques, wedge resections, IOLs (ICL, Artisan toric, secondary IOL)

Educational Objective
I want the learner to be able to improve refractive outcomes following penetrating/ anterior lamellar keratoplasty to achieve 20/20 vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses for visual rehabilitation.
