Synopsis: Almost third of the grafts (penetrating/lamellar) fail. A repeat surgery is needed for restoring vision. Repeat penetrating keratoplasty (PK) has an increased risk of failure. In contrast, an endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) in such cases more predictable outcomes and advantages in terms of freedom from sutures, reduced steroid dependency and reduced follow up. Even DSEK may undergo failure. In such cases, a repeat DSEK or a PK is needed. Each procedure has its own pros and cons. There is sparse literature regarding outcomes of such surgery. Despite multiple attempts, graft failure may be inevitable in some cases. Keratoprosthesis may be an answer to this. The criteria for selection of the procedure, technique, post operative medication and follow up vary for each one of them. A repeat DSEK requires modifcations in standard technique. All these have bearing on the fnal outcome and prognosis. Objective: At the end of the course, the attendee will be familiar with the indications, surgical modalities and modifcations, follow up and benefts-risks of repeat graft (PK, DSEK and Keratoprosthesis) for graft failure.

Summary of Content: Uveitis is a heterogeneous group of ocular infammatory conditions with varied presentations and often a sight threatening prognosis. The instruction course begins by elucidating a basic understanding of the underlying disease processes. Disease entities are grouped into predominantly infammatory/ immunological, infectious with potential for hypersensitivity, purely infectious states in either normal or immuno-compromised hosts and masquerade syndromes. Next, rational use of basic, advanced and supportive laboratory investigations along with their potential redundancy and fallacies is discussed, followed by the role of ancillary tests. Finally, the indications and techniques of invasive diagnostic interventions is elaborated.

Timely intervention can prevent blinding complications and help to sustain useful vision throughout life. Every ophthalmologist should be aware of the management of fresh ocular trauma. It has got medico legal implications also. This course is aimed at comprehensive ophthalmologists and retinologists. Level of the course is intermediate. After every didactic lecture, which will be aptly supported by video demonstrations, there will be audience interaction also. The topics covered include: • Introduction and pathophysiological basis of posterior segment ocular trauma • Ultrasound imaging of posterior segment trauma • Immediate management of open globe injury including occult scleral rupture • Macular involvement in closed globe injury • Vitrectomy in open and closed globe injuries-when, Why and How? • Management of complicated trauma related retinal detachments • Evaluation and management of retained intraocular foreign body • Post traumatic endophthalmitis - How is it different from post operative endophthalmitis • Discussion 64 S a t u r d a y , 1 8 F e b r u a r y 2 0 1 2 www.woc2012.org Increased Test-Retest Variability Typically Precedes Defnite Glaucomatous Field Defects in Early Glaucoma Sat 18 Feb Capital Suite 15 CO-GLA-SA 179 IS-COR-SA 182 IS-GLA-SA 181 IS-VID-SA 180 08:30 - 10:00 Presenter: Tutul Chakravarti Early feld loss is often represented by a region of variable responses rather than by a localized deep scotoma. Increased local fuctuations typically precede defnite glaucomatous feld defects in early glaucoma in a set of subjects with 1) ocular hypertension, 2) Primary Angle Closure and 3) glaucoma suspects who converted to glaucoma with early localized defects. The conversion to glaucoma is a reproducible glaucomatous feld defect at the moment of their conversion in Automated Perimetry. This retrospective chart reviews 129 cases (256 charts; 243 OHT+9 PAC+4 glaucoma suspects).Participants were tested once half-yearly and followed up 4-7 years. Early defects manifested as increased variable responses in afected areas of 9 charts out of 31 converted charts (25 converted patients).Variability occurs mostly at pathological points in those 9 charts. Test-retest variability increases in the areas fnally becoming defnitely abnormal and representing warning signs of absolute defects.

Summary of Content: Trabeculectomy, the guarded flteration surgery, has been a gold standard in glaucoma surgery for the last 5-6 decades. If performed properly it helps to lower intraocular pressure without any adverse efects. Complications of trabeculectomy occur even in the hands of the expert. To enhance success rates additional modifca- tions are in vogue. These modifcations have not caught on uniformly amongst the practising ophthalmologist. In this video instruction course we describe the various modifcations (preparation and use of cytocidal and cytotoxic antimetabolites, Type 2 ologen collagen matrix implant, various releasable suture techniques and the newer express shunt) along with tips for safe surgery for optimal outcome of trabeculectomy. Target Audience: Practicing ophthalmologist, Residents Course Level: Advanced.

Summary of Content: Major challenges associated with pediatric cataract surgery in growing eyes are selection of optimal surgical technique, management of aphakia, handling of technically difcult surgery, intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation and management of postoperative complications. Refned and perfected surgical techniques, availability of suitable IOL designs as well as understanding the growth and refractive changes in children have made IOL implantation safe modality in the management of pediatric cataract. Issues of concern are the optimal age for IOL implantation, whether IOL implantation should be as primary or a secondary, what IOL power to choose, target postoperative refractive status. Latest trends in surgical techniques and the importance of choosing the optimal means of optical rehabilitation will be discussed.

IS-SSS-SA 228 IS-SSS-SA 229 Retinoblastoma - They Live and See! Sat 18 Feb Capital Suite 9 CO-ONC-SA 227 13:30 - 15:00 Presenters: Santosh Honavar, Nabil Taresh, Arun Singh, Jerry Shields Objective: To enable the participant to understand and incorporate into practice recent developments in the diagnosis and management of retinoblastoma. Summary of Content: Recent advances in the diagnosis and management of retinoblastoma have signifcantly contributed to improved success in patient survival, eye salvage, and optimal vision salvage. The new staging and grouping systems are now clinically validated and well accepted. Modern management strategies such as transpupillary thermotherapy, plaque brachytherapy, chemoreduction and periocular chemotherapy have been efective in improving eye and vision salvage. Selective intra-arterial chemotherapy has shown promise and is an existing new development. Minimal manipulation enucleation has been further optimized to enable harvesting a long optic nerve stump and provide excellent cosmetic outcome. Adjuvant therapy in children with histopathologic high-risk characteristics identifed following enucleation has reduced the risk of systemic metastasis. A multimodal protocol has been efective in salvaging patients with orbital retinoblastoma. Genetic studies now help in prenatal diagnosis and screening of siblings. The course will aim to highlight the practical aspects in the current standard of care for retinoblastoma and logically analyze recent developments.

Summary of Content: Corneal transplantation surgery has witnessed revolutionary change over the past decade. Anterior and posterior lamellar surgical procedures have evolved which help selectively replace dysfunctional layers of the cornea to restore structure and function with improved eyesight. Full thickness keratoplasty is no longer the frst choice of surgical procedure for certain corneal disorders. This video based course will cover all aspects of lamellar corneal surgery, right from donor tissue preparation, step by step approach of surgical procedures, managing complications, and surgery in difcult situations. Course attendees will have an overview of both anterior and posterior lamellar corneal surgical procedures, and will be able to apply the knowledge gained in their clinical practice. Corneal surgeons will be able to gain insight into details of surgical technique which will help them make a smooth transition from full thickness corneal transplantation surgery to lamellar corneal procedures.

Controversy persists over the optimal management of the injured eye. Debate persists over surgical repair of severely traumatized eyes with no light perception, use of prophylactic antibiotics either systemic or intracameral or intravitreal, prophylactic cryopexy, and prophylactic scleral buckling. The role and timing of vitrectomy surgery in severe ocular trauma also remain topics of considerable debate, as does the role of vitrectomy in the management of magnetic intraocular foreign bodies. Similarly timing and optimal management of traumatic cataract with intraocular lens implantation and corneal scar management is also practice diferently by diferent surgeons across the world. Management of orbital fractures and lid and adnexal trauma is also area of considerable debate. Role of intravenous methylprednisolone and optic canal decompression in traumatic optic neuropathy is still controversial. Pediatric ocular trauma management also involves lot of unresolved debates. Summary of Content: Each of these issues will be discussed, with particular emphasis on conficting views presented in the relevant literature along with critical appraisal of existing international ocular trauma classifcation. Target Audience: Subspecialists Course Level: Advanced.

Summary of Content: Management of intractable glaucomas such as neovascular glaucoma, glaucoma following vitreo-retinal surgery, glaucoma following penetrating keratoplasty, malignant glaucoma as well as glaucoma associated with keratoprostheses remains a challenge to the glaucoma surgeon. Management of these problems has shifted from the use of cyclodestructive procedures, to the use of drainage devices which is the current treatment of choice in most situations. We plan to present 4 representative case scenarios of the various subtypes of refractory glaucomas and discuss the problems in diagnosis, surgical treatment and expected complications in each case.

Target Audience/educational level: Young Ophthalmologists This symposium/course has been developed jointly by the YO (young ophthalmologist) committees of MEACO, SOE and AAO. The theme for the session is education, the issues young ophthalmologists across the globalising world are now facing, and how best to make the most of opportunities, and face challenges. The session will take the form of a chat-show, hosted by a MEACO representative, and speakers will be the guests on the chat-show. Each topic will be addressed primarily using a question and answer session. This will provide an entertaining and engaging format to present esoteric but important issues to a young audience. The session topics will be: • Setting up residency programmes in the Middle East - The Arab Board • Opportunities and resources available for establishing residency programmes • European Board of Ophthalmology - Europe harmonising ophthalmic education • Arranging a fellowship abroad - pearls and pitfalls • Surgical training - how do we set the standards? • Modern social media in ophthalmology Childhood Proptosis: Evaluation and Management Mon 20 Feb Capital Suite 6 CO-PED-MO 372 08:30 - 10:00 Presenters: Imtiaz Chaudhry, Arif Khan, Adel Alsuhaibani, Yonca Arat Objective: To familiarize the attendee with common benign and malignant processes that can afect the orbit in children with an emphasis on the systematic and practical approach for the work-up and treatment of proptosis. Summary of Content: Proptosis describes eye prominence due to space occupying orbital lesions. Proptosis in children is a hallmark of orbital diseases requiring thoughtful investigation. While acquired lesions may present at the end of frst decade of life, congenital lesions usually present early in life. Some of the common causes of proptosis in children include cystic lesions, orbital cellulitis and pseudotumor, less common are optic nerve gliomas and meningiomas. Rhabdomyosarcoma can present with acute proptosis. Secondary orbital processes invade the orbit from adjacent structures. Distant metastases include neuroblastoma and Ewing's sarcoma. Although many orbital processes can be diagnosed by history, examination and imaging studies, ultimate diagnosis rests upon pathological diagnoses. The course will cover illustrative clinical cases that may include, the most common benign, malignant and metatstatic processes faced by general as well as subspecialists encountring such patients. Target Audience: General ophthalmologists and subspecialists Educational Level: Beginning, intermediate. Optimizing the Outcome with Posterior Chamber Phakic IOL ( ICL) Implantation for Refractive Errors with Thin Cornea Mon 20 Feb Capital Suite 8 CO-REF-MO 373 08:30 - 10:00 Presenters: Satyamyrthy Kodur, Ramamurthy D, Amar Agarwal, Ramesh Gampa Synopsis: In all those patients who are not suitable for Lasik or surface ablation due to thin cornea various options such as phakic IOL implanta- tion and refractive lens exchange are available. Implantation of collamar lens in the posterior chamber is an ideal and easier choice in these patients. This course is aimed at simplifying the Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) implantation and optimizing the outcome and it also deals with material and design of ICL , indications, contra indications & patient selection ,pre operative preparation, surgical technique of implanting spherical and toric ICL and ICL complications. Objective: At the conclusion of the course, the attendee will have a comprehensive knowledge of ICL implantation which will provide the refractive surgeon confdence to adopt the technique in practice.

Felipe Vejarano, Cyres Mehta Ojective: To demonstrate the state of the art in techniques of micro- incisional lens extraction (less of 1 mm), applied to challenging cataract surgery cases. Summary: Each Professor will show videos of cataract surgeries, containing frequent complications, and showing the way they were solved, through the application of micro-incisional technology. It is a video based course, completely interactive with the audience in each and every demonstrated case, where an open forum will be open to discuss all surgeries. Each surgeon will point new features developed lately during his surgical practice. Target Audience: General ophthalmologists and subspecialists. Educational Level: Intermediate to advanced. 126 M o n d a y , 2 0 F e b r u a r y 2 0 1 2 www.woc2012.org Management of Complex Strabismus Situations Mon 20 Feb Capital Suite 8 CO-STR-MO 416 13:30 - 15:00 Presenters: Ramakrishnan, Venkateshwar Rao Bhoompally, Rajesh P, Sandra Ganeshrabu Objective: Strabismus surgery, though appears simple and straightforward, is not so in all situations. There are some complex situations in strabismus where surgical plans becomes really challenging. This symposium will discuss few of such complex scenarios. Summary of Contents: Management of Consecutive deviations and resurgeries in strabismus is really challenging. The exact plan and outcome depends on various factors like previous surgical procedures done, adhesions etc. This discussion will be followed by the talk on Transposition Procedures. Muscle transposition is indicated in cases like Double Elevator Palsy, Nerve palsies etc. The surgical plan, chances of post operative anterior segment Ischemia etc has to be kept in mind. Vessel sparing procedures will also be discussed in this context. Many of these complex strabismus do better with adjustable suture technique and the next talk will focus on this. Vertical, restrictive and pattern strabismus needs special mention and we will discuss management issues in the above situations with case examples. Target Audience: Subspecialists Educational Level: Intermediate Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy - All You Need to Know! Mon 20 Feb Capital Suite 6 CO-RET-MO 415 13:30 - 15:00 Presenters: Ian Wong, Wico Lai, David Wong Objectives: To highlight the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, treatment strategies, and future developments in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Summary of Content: PCV is characterized by recurrent subretinal pigment epithelial hemorrhages. Before indocyanine-green angiography (ICG) imaging was popular, PCV was sometimes misdiagnosed as neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). With the advent of imaging modalities and deeper understandings of the disease, PCV is now recognized as a separate entity, with its own unique profle of clinical manifestations. Treatment strategy towards PCV has been revolutionized by recent clinical trials using combination therapy with ranibizumab and verteporfn. Currently, signifcant diferences exist between treatment for PCV and neovascular AMD. There is a clear need in distinguishing PCV from neovascular AMD. Clinical photos, ICG fndings, and optical coherence tomography scans will be used to illustrate real cases. Small quiz towards end of course will help audience fortify knowledge acquired. At the conclusion of this course, the audience will be able to distinguish a case of PCV, from a case of neovascular AMD. They will know how to formulate treatment strategies for a new case of PCV, and the most up-to-date evidences involved.
