DESCRIPTION

The aim of the master class “Updates on diagnosis and management of keratoconus” is to provide to the participating ophthalmologists a comprehensive description of the diagnostic procedure to detect keratoconus progression and overview of the current methods available in the surgical scenario with particular emphasis on high-tech instrumentation and latest development. Selected clinical cases will be presented and discussed with participants.

OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the master class, the learner should:

• have a better understanding of the diagnosis and follow-up of keratoconus patient
• be able to discriminate clinical progressive disease
• have a better knowledge of current therapeutic options (beyond optical correction with spectacles or contact lenses) among the latest advances in surgical procedures

TOPICS

• Keratoconus management
• Tomographical diagnosis of keratoconus
• Detections of keratoconus progression
• Corneal Collagen cross-linking indications and literature review
• Iontophoresis assisted cross-linking in keratoconus
• Combined refractive surgical techniques with cross-linking
• Femtosecond laser technology in Intrastromal keratoplasty
• Corneal remodelling (Stromal lenticule addition keratoplasty: SLAK)
• Intraoperative OCT in Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty

DESCRIPTION

The aim of this master class “Neurotrophic keratopathy: innovations in diagnosis and treatment” is to describe to the participating ophthalmologists recent updates on neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) including definition, classification and staging, diagnosis, complications, medical management and surgical treatment. Particular emphasis will be dedicated to differential diagnosis and to the presentation of recent NGF on-label treatment available for this orphan disease. and Selected clinical cases will be presented and discussed with participants.

OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the master class, the learner should:

• have a better knowledge of neurotrophic keratopathy
• be able to perform correct differential diagnosis of the diseases and correct diagnostic algorithm for severity staging
• be able to perform correct therapeutic approach considering medical conservative, etiological treatment, and surgical indications.

TOPICS

• Neurotrophic Keratopathy
  • Definition of NK
  • Clinical presentation
  • Diagnostic algoithm
  • Differential diagnosis
  • Complications
  • Conventional conservative treatment
  • NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) topical treatment
  • Surgical Procedures

Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is a Mediterranean and cosmopolitan city with Roman remains, medieval quarters and the most beautiful examples of 20th century Modernism and avant-garde. It is no surprise that emblematic constructions by the Catalan architects Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Doménech i
Montaner have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The city’s origins are Roman, and its long history and economic dynamism have made Barcelona a cultural city, which can be seen in the historic-artistic heritage and the promotion of the most innovative artistic trends. A wide cultural programme will take visitors to museums, exhibitions, open-air sculptures and many concerts, plays and dances.

Strolling around the streets of Barcelona brings surprises at every turn. Pedestrian streets in the old quarter, green spaces, and a splendid seafront with a range of modern facilities are a reflection of its multi-faceted character. Barcelona has cleverly succeeded in embracing its past without forgetting its commitment to the future.

The IMO is located near Junction 7 of Barcelona’s Ronda de Dalt ring road (mountain side) and can be accessed directly from Josep Maria Llado street.

Nearest bus stations:

• Rotonda de Bellesguard. Bus 60. Bus stop 1540
• Ronda de Dalt – Bellesguard. Buses 60, 123, 196. Bus stop 0071
