he ELZA team had a busy Sunday at ESCRS 2022. First of all, Dr. Emilio Torres-Netto gave two presentations in the “Corneal explorations” session: Intrastromal Ring Segment Implantation Results In Corneal Mechanical Strengthening Visualized With Optical Coherence Elastography, and 325° Arch-Length Intracorneal Ring Implantation Strain Maps Visualized With New Optical Coherence Elastography,
He then participated in the “Surgical Approaches to Keratoconus Patients” session, where delegates were shown how these techniques are performed.
Meanwhile, Prof. Hafezi presented “Current State of CXL (Corneal Cross-Linking). Trends and Clinical Recommendations” to the assembled audience. Later, Prof. Hafezi presented the latest results of research on a novel method of assessing corneal biomechanics, in a lecture entitled “OCT Elastography In Normal And Keratoconus Subjects”.
The day continued with Dr. Lamis Baydoun leading a DMEK wetlab, where she showed surgeons from Europe and around the world how to perform Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty, and Prof. Hafezi finished off the day with two further presentations on “Keratoconus Current and Future State of the Art” and “Safety Of Epithelium-Off Corneal Cross-Linking For Keratoconus Performed In An Office-Based Setting”.
