Now, with increasing experience, corneal transplant surgeons are refining promising lamellar techniques andaltering procedures to give more predictable results. In deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), the surgeon removesall corneal tissue down to Descemet’s membrane and the endothelium for patients with keratoconus, ectasia, stromaldystrophies and scarring, offering the potential benefits of better graft survival and improved structural integrity of thecornea. Posterior corneal transplant procedures became a practical reality about 10 years ago and today, the standard ofcare in all isolated endothelial diseases is Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (Descemet’s stripping endothelialkeratoplasty DSEK, Descemet’s Stripping Automated Keratoplasty (DSAEK) and Descemet’s Membrane EndothelialKeratoplasty (DMEK).Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty - Indications and Surgical Techniques Dr. Shreesha Kumar 10 min 10 minAnterior Lamellar Keratoplasty - Results and Complications Dr. Mano Ranjan Das 10 minEndothelial Keratoplasty - Indications and Techniques in DSEK Dr. Srinivas K Rao 10 min 20 minEndothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK & DMEK) andIntralase Enabled Keratoplasty (IEK) Dr. K.S.Siddharthan Discussion IC 17 Retina (IC0000073)Date: 25.7.2015 Hall E Time: 4.30 - 5.30pmUnderstanding OCTs better and simplifiedDr. Pradeep SusvarObjective: Aim of the course is to make the understanding of the OCT more simple in terms of the various instrumentation,identification of the lesions in their respective layers with normal and abnormal changes and the futuristic look at theOCTs widening application. Purpose: The shift of the OCT principles from time domain towards spectral needs a clearunderstanding.This knowledge makes the identification of each layer of the healthy retina easy and clearer thereby givesconfidence to pick up the pathological lesions better.This is done in two parts- the inner and outer half of the retinal layersas separate topics. Final words of the course would throw the light on new prospects of OCT application like Choroidalimaging, Swept source, phase variance OCT, Adaptive Optics - OCT and future trends.The overall purpose is to make theconcept of the OCT easily learnt and interpreted by the ophthalmologists and to show a glimpse of the future of OCTs.Machines and the techniques of OCT Dr. Vikas Khetan 12 min 12 minInterpretation and identification of the Inner retinal layer lesions Dr. Suganeswari Ganesan 12 min 12 minIdentification and Interpretation of Outer retinal layer lesions Dr. Pradeep Susvar 12 min Future trend of the OCTs Dr. Rajiv Raman Discussion 23
