Course Description
Course will focus on limits of the use of endothelial keratoplasty. Despite its obvious advantages over traditional PK, EK remains questionable in some scenarios such as AC-IOLs, aphakia, scarred corneas, tubes among others. By showing the challenges using case presentations, the course will highlight EK limitations as well as how to succeed even in challenging eyes. After the course, attendees will improve their skills to manage these eyes.
Educational Objective
To improve management of endothelial failure in complex eyes.
