Intermediate GL-SD02
Monitoring glaucoma progression based on structural and
functional changes available from perimtery and imaging of the
disc and the nerve fber layer is crucial in objectively determining
treatment algorithms, but is also vital to correlate with overall
clinical features before one decides to step up the treatment
algorithm, carefully attempting to balance the adverse outcomes
of aggressive treatment, quality of life outcomes as well as benefts
of aggressively lowering IOP. The forum also seeks to address the
crucial aspects of patient oriented glaucoma association.

RANzCO symposium: the management of retinal vein
occlusions -- there is more to it than just mindless repetitive
anti VEGF injections MS-SS11
The extraordinary effectiveness of anti VEGFs in resolving macular
swelling and improving visual acuity in retinal vein occlusion gives
the impression that it is actually a treatment for the problem. Anti
VEGFs maintain macular integrity whilst the vein occlusion is
reversed by recanalization, opening of bypass channels or made
less critical by a reduction of retinal volume needing to be drained.
After classifying the vein occlusion according to site , severity
and causality, treatment strategies can be made .This symposium
outlines the use of a number of treatments(with level 1/2 evidence)
in conjunction with anti VEGF therapy in this condition.

Glaucoma patient issues MS-SS09
The glaucoma patient of today has entirely different needs than
those in the past. They want to take charge of their care and
should be encouraged to do so. These patients are seeking far
more information and support than that requested by those who
preceded them. This symposium attempts to help the doctors
understand this situation. The psychological aspects of the
disease are addressed. Support mechanisms such as support
groups, resources available globally and quality of life issues are
discussed. Even a patient will offer her perspective on living with
glaucoma. A very comprehensive presentation not to be missed.

vision and beyond. This symposium will deal with topics ranging
from how to make the best use of phacoemulsifcation machines
by understanding their dynamics, precise biometry in all patients
including challenging situations, choosing the appropriate
intraocular lenses and understanding the use of perioperative
medications in achieving optimum outcome. The role of cutting
edge technology such as femtosecond laser cataract surgery and
customizing IOLs also will be shared. Experienced physicians will
cover the practical aspects of improving surgical quality thereby
enhancing clinical care, and patient satisfaction.

OCULAR IMAGING
Retinal and optic nerve imaging in glaucoma OI-SS03
This symposium will focus on use of new technology for diagnosis
of glaucoma based on changes in the retinal nerve fber layer
(RNFL) and optic nerve head (ONH). The symposium will include
high resolution imaging of the lamina cribrosa, choroid, retinal
ganglion cell complex, optic disc and RNFL and detail the early
changes seen in glaucoma patients, diagnosis of progression and
how to differentiate changes produced by glaucoma from myopia.
A combined index of using results of both structure and function
to predict the loss of retinal ganglion cells will be introduced along
with pearls of imaging and current limitations.

Neuroimaging in glaucoma OI-SS02
Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease of the visual system.
This more recent perspective on the disease has shifted our
attention from the eye, to brain changes in glaucoma, and has
fueled the desire to see the brain in glaucoma. Brain changes
in experimental and human glaucoma will be reviewed, in
addition to the latest fndings visualized by state of the art modern
neuroimaging techniques. Opportunities to exploit neuroimaging
fndings to further our understanding and treatment of glaucoma
will also be presented.

Trauma to a childs eye - give him your best! PO-IC02
Trauma to a Childs eye is one of the most challenging situations in
ophthalmic practice. Timely decisions and judicious intervention go
a long way in salvaging the vision. Here we deal with the practical
aspects of Pediatric Eye Injury. Since only 25% of the patients
present within 6 hours of injury and 35% present more than 24
hours later, these decisions very crucial. Proper technique of the
surgery may go a long way in restoring vision of the child, and
also would make the subsequent surgery easier. Next comes the
secondary repair after assessing the damage to the anterior and
posterior segment and timing of the second surgery.

Strabismus surgery, although well standardised, is known to
yield variable results in different individuals for the same amount

tune the position of the eye in the immediate post-operative period,
potentially improving long term eye alignment and avoiding the
need for re-operations.

Current status of femtosecond laser cataract surgery:
beyond the hype CA-IC04
Femtosecond cataract surgery has generated a lot of excitement
with its promise of safer, more precise surgery by creating strong,
multiplanar, self-sealing corneal incisions, improving the centration
of the capsulorhexis, and making its shape and size more
predictable. But theres one thing most can agree on: The high
cost of this high-tech laser may prevent it from gaining widespread
adoption in price sensitive market in india.

Budding ophthalmologists have lot of aspirations as well as
challenges. One needs to plan the future carefully. Major decision
will be whether to opt for private practice or academic career.
Private practice has its challenges and the approach need a
different mindset. Academic career require an innovative mind
and knowledge sharing attitude. Some times while established in
private practice, one can expand the practice to a group and later
covert it into an academic institution. Young ophthalmologists will

Due to the market driven forces and the extensive dependance on

the so called Noble profession to turn into a business.In the
company of machines we all are behaving like the machines.The
industry is trying to exert its infuence and sometimes manipulate
medical professionals by giving fnancial gains.It is even attempting
to infuence the research and publications .Moreover the exposure
to teachers to catch the ethical practices is getting remarkably
diluted Group practices by reducing investment and optimal
usage of technology has a potential to check the decline of ethical

Current trends in posterior lamellar cornea surgery: a
revolution in evolution CO-SS03
Posterior Lamellar Corneal surgery or Endothelial Keratoplasy (EK)
is now the choice of surgery in corneal endothelial dysfunctions
as an alternative to penetrating keratoplasty. Automated
microkeratome preparation of the donor endothelial graft is most
preferable in EK. Many eye banks are now supplying pre-cut
donor tissue for DSAEK. Though diffcult, DMEK is also becoming
popular among many DSEK surgeons. Complications are there in
DSEK as well as DMEK including graft rejection. This symposium
will cover all aspect of Posterior Lamellar Corneal surgery donor
preparation, outcomes, complications and their management; It
also includes award lecture on future of endothelial keratoplasty.

NEURO-OPHTHALMOLOGy
Investigations in neuro-ophthalmology NE-SS03
Several investigative tools are routinely used in neuro-
ophthalmological assessment, ranging from the relatively simple
(e.g. visual feld examination) to the more complex (e.g. ocular
coherence tomography, imaging and visual electrophysiology).
Familiarity with all these tools is important to accurate diagnosis.
This symposium aims to provide a brief overview of each tool
followed by a more detailed discussion of indications, correct
interpretation and recent advances.

Refractive surgery grand rounds RE-SS07
The panel will be asked to comment on the management of real
patients from a refractive practice. Some will be complex and
unexpected, and others more routine. They will involve both
corneal laser and refractive lens patients. The panel will not have
seen the cases ahead of time so they will need to make decisions,
under pressure, just as you would in your practice. It should make
for an entertaining, compelling and informative session.

Corneal presbyopic surgery RE-SS05
The most successful eye surgeons in corneal presbyopic surgery
are successful because of their abilities in counseling and delivering
to the patient what is promised. The various techniques in corneal
presbyopic surgery like 1.Monovision 2.Advanced Monovision
3.Excimer laser based solutions like Presbymax and Supracor
etc. 4. Femtosecond laser based solution like Intracor 5. Non laser
techniques like corneal inlays and conductive keratoplasty; have
all achieved phenomenal success when they were selectively
used. This session will discuss the upside and the downside to the
various different techniques that are available today for correction
of presbyopia by corneal presbyopic surgery.

Update on age related macular degeneration (AMD) RM-
SS02
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a chronic disease
leading to progressive central vision loss. It is the leading cause
of irreversible blindness in the United States; most commonly
affecting white Caucasians aged more than 55 years. Typical
symptoms include decreased central vision, central scotoma, and
metamorphopsia. New antiangiogenic therapies have signifcantly
improved visual prognosis in these patients. In this symposium
we will discuss the epidemiology and prevention of AMD, vision
and economics, CATT Trial results, bevacizumab for wet AMD, an
update on pharmacotherapy, combination therapy for neovascular
AMD, and what to do in eyes that fail treatment (non-responders).

Synopsis Endophthalmitis management is mostly guided by the
land mark study, the Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study (EVS). The
application of the EVS recommendations is also guided by few other
prospective randomized studies coupled with the local variations
of microbiology spectrum and antibiotic susceptibility. The EVS
recommendations also vary in infections other than acute post
cataract bacterial endophthalmitis. This symposium will address all
these issues specifcally pertinent to the South East Asia, special
situation endophthalmitis, and application of molecular techniques
in identifcation of species and infection source

Genetic studies provide key insights into important eye diseases
using powerful research tools (transgenic mice, next generation
sequencing, and genome-wide association studies). Mice are
being genetically engineered to develop eye conditions that mimic
human disease and are facilitating studies of disease mechanism
and tests of new therapies. Next generation sequencing allows
deeper and broader searches for important genetic risk factors for
common eye diseases. Finally, genome-wide association studies
are being used to identify common DNA variants that contribute
risk for development of eye diseases. This symposium will present
these research approaches and their use to investigate inherited
eye diseases.

High throughput technologies have greatly changed the landscape
of how gene identifcation is undertaken. This symposium will
seek to explore how some of these genetic techniques are
aiding in deciphering the role of genes of common eye diseases
in the Asia Pacifc region, in particular age related macular
degeneration, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, cataract and
glaucoma. It will also reveal that assessment of phenotypic traits
that typically underlie many of these diseases has led to a growing
number of genes being identifed which will ultimately help in our
understanding of disease and future improvements in treatment.

Femtosecond laser cataract surgery CA-IC11
Femtosecond cataract surgery can potentially lead to better and
safer surgical outcomes. Femtosecond surgery results in central
round and precise capsulotomy which improves lens centering and
Effective Lens Position (ELP). Reduced phaco energy results in
less endothelial damage and clearer corneas on frst post-op day.
Corneal incisions are precise and more secure so less chances of
endophthalmitis. Laser Limbal relaxing incisions (LRI) can reduce
astigmatisms leading to enhanced visual outcomes .

Improving refractive outcomes biometry and IOL power
calculations CA-SS09
The evolution of cataract surgery technique and advancements
in IOL have blurred the line between cataract and refractive
surgery. Now goal of cataract surgery is to achieve emmetropia
with maximal optical quality. Accurate IOL calculation begin with
identifying the patients visual goals. To achieve consistently highly
accurate results we have to exercise all components correctly,
which includes patient selection, Keratometry, Topography,
Biometry, IOL Formule, lens position and surgical excellence.
There are certain scenarios like Post refractive surgery, Secondary
IOLs, Silicone flled eyes, Pediatric eyes, Posterior staphyloma,
too short and long eyes require special attention, to avoid post
operative refractive surprises.

Vision 2020 symposium: practice management MS-SS10
The implementation of practise management is an intergral part
of quality, sustainability and the growth of eye care hospitals
and organizations. This practise management includes the study
of patient satisfaction, leadership, resource mobilisation and
optimization, budgeting, evaluation and monitoring along with
costing of eye care procedures. Various studies have shown
that the patient satisfaction depends more on ambiance and
management aspects, and they have only scoped less than
20% marks for clinical services. Since patient being the central
part of the service delivery, knowledge of best practises not only
necessary but essential.

Ophthalmic trauma is a topic of unresolved controversies. Timing
of cataract surgery , intraocular lens implantation and traumatic
glaucoma management in setting of trauma is still debated
.Timing of vitrectomy has been and will continue to be debated
by proponents of early versus delayed intervention. Role of
intravitreal antibiotics in posterior segment trauma in absence of
infection is still debated. Prospective, controlled clinical studies are
not possible in open globe injury and this symposium targets to
highlight these controversial issues and provides current practice
pattern based on the available published data and the speaker
personal experience.

The comprehensive glaucoma diagnostics course GL-IC08
The past decade has seen a food of devices and instruments
which aid in diagnosis and follow up of glaucoma. Some of them
have stood the test of time while others have not proved to be very
benefcial. Glaucoma specialists and General Ophthalmologists
are quite often confused regarding which diagnostic test to choose
in a specifc clinical setting This course will critically evaluate the
available technologies and provide take home messages regarding
the clinical worth and signifcance of each of them. The course will
provide a general overview of all the available technologies and

Epidemiology and management of glaucoma in low and

Glaucoma management in less developed communities is
challenging and calls for a different set of thought processes and
skill sets than are currently employed in more developed societies.
Problems faced in combating glaucoma blindness in developing
nations need to be seen in the context of disparities in distribution of
eye care services, poor training, poor utilization and less access to
care, apart from affordability of available services. The symposium
seeks to share with the audience the experience of some of the eye
care providers working in developing communities in combating
avoidable blindness due to glaucoma.

Measuring rates of change in glaucoma: structure and
function GL-SS05
Measuring rate of progression of glaucoma is important for the
clinician to determine the effcacy of the treatment. Identifyfng
rapid progressors entails more aggressive treatment compared to a
relatively slow or non-progressor. Determining whether a individual
has worsened or not can be based either on structural change in
the optic nerve using imaging or functional visual feld change
using auotomated perimetry. This symposium would enlighten us
on the current trends in the methods of assessment of structural
and functional change in glaucoma and provide guidelines to
practising ophthalmologist on the best ways to follow-up a patient

To outline and discuss the basics and important points of clinical
angle evaluation with extensive examples and practical tips. Angle
evaluation by gonioscopy is an important clinical requirement for
patient management. Most resident training programs provide
inadequate exposure to this aspect. The technique of indentation
gonioscopy is also not very widely practiced in the ophthalmic
community, and this course is designed to educate and empower
practicing ophthalmologists in the use of this technique,

Phakic intraocular lenses need to be familiar to all refractive
surgeons. They make up a small but signifcant part of refractive
practice, often for the patients most in need of surgery. There are
technology choices to consider and the expert speakers will give
their insights into which lens is best suited to which patient. By the
end of this session you should have a clear understanding of which
patients are suitable for phakic IOLs, which lens will suit you and
your patients best, and how to manage these higher refractive error
patients.

Workup of a refractive surgery patient RE-SS03
The frst point of contact with a refractive patient is during
the screening process. This session aims to give the general
ophthalmologist and the refractive surgeon a review of the crucial
steps in qualifying a patient for refractive surgery, obtaining
the proper measurements, reading topography maps to detect
suspicious corneas, interpreting aberrometry data for use in
wavefront-guided treatments and sharing pearls in patient
counseling for better conversion to surgery and management of
expectations.

Strategies and pearls for phacoemulsifcation in diffcult
situations CA-IC12
Phacoemulsifcation is slowly becoming the cataract extraction
procedure of choice. It is increasingly becoming popular because
of its inherent safety and its ability to achieve rapid visual
rehabilitation. All surgeons are confronted with some diffcult and
challenging cases which might necessitate deviation from the usual
path. In this video instruction course we shall deal with strategies
to deal with intumescent, hypermature, rock hard cataracts. To
understand the dynamics better in order to deal with High myopes,
subluxated cataracts, pseudoexfoliation, and posterior polar
cataracts.

End stage ocular surface disorders - the expert opinion!
CO-IC09
Ocular surface disorders are often recalcitrant to conventional
therapies and are challenge for most ophthalmologists. Using
video and case based presentation; we would describe physiology
of ocular surface (OS), pathophysiologic mechanism of disease
and OS reconstruction in extreme ocular surface disorders (OSD).
Topics will include management options in acute and chronic
phases of OSD, role of aggressive immunosuppressive therapy,
scleral ocular prosthetic device, amniotic membrane and mucous
membrane grafts, reconstruction of lids, fornices and ocular
surface, limbal transplantation, keratoplasty, keratoprosthesis
(Boston and Osteo Odonto), other biological and biosynthetic
substitutes and stem cell sources for end stage ocular surface
conditions such as dry eye, ocular burns, Stevens Johnson
syndrome, cicatricial disorders and graft vs host disease

Corneal conundrums: case studies CO-SS11
Corneal diseases are important causes of ocular morbidity and
blindness in Asia Pacifc region. Although infectious diseases
top the list other diseases that play important role comprise of
injuries, ocular surface diseases, corneal dystrophies and ecstatic
disorders of cornea. However, with the advent of new corneal
surgical procedures we are also coming across with new set of
complications. While corneal diseases are easily accessible to
clinical evaluate but can pose serious diagnostic and therapeutic
challenges. During this symposium speakers will present clinical
cases highlighting these emerging challenges.

Anti vegf therapy for cnvms: managing non responders
RM-IC08
The gold standard for management of all subtypes of CNVMs is
the Intravitreal Injections of Anti-VEGF agents. there is a subgroup
of patients (12-15%) who do not respond to standard anti-VEGF
therapy with Ranibizumab or Bevacizumab. The common causes
of non-response are lesions that are hypo- or hyper-responders or
if a wrong diagnosis has been made. injection fatigue and logistical
issues are contributing factors.
