ESCRS eConnect Webinar - Corneal approach to presbyopia treatment Podcast Presbyopia is by far the most common vision-related problem affecting more than two billion people worldwide. It negatively impacts the quality of life in numerous ways, especially with the increase in active life expectancy in recent decades. Despite conventional management of presbyopia with reading glasses still being predominant, there are constant improvements in surgical treatment, as well. Our webinar will present the latest in the evaluation of visual function in presbyopic patients and will give an overview of current refractive laser surgical options and recent developments in corneal inlays technology, with a special focus on their long-term effectiveness and safety.

ESCRS eConnect Academy: Current trends in IOL power calculations - 15 February 2023 The need for better postoperative results and patient expectations undergoing cataract surgery has increased significantly over the last two decades, leading to major advances in ocular biometry and IOL power calculations. Although these improvements have been remarkable, they are still suboptimal in some cases. The aim of our webinar is to provide information on the latest technologies used in modern measuring devices and innovations behind current IOL calculation formulas. The problem of biometry and IOL power selection after corneal refractive surgery and in patients with keratoconus will also be discussed.
