Abstract
REFRACTIVE SURGERIES, BOTH ADDITIVE AND SUBTRACTIVE ARE WIDELY SOUGHT-AFTER PROCEDURES FOR VISION CORRECTION AS THEY GIVE INDEPENDENCE FROM GLASSES AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE. MOST OF THE PATIENTS UNDERGOING THESE PROCEDURES ARE NOT FULLY AWARE OF THEIR SUITABILITY FOR THE PROCEDURE AND THE TREATING OPHTHALMOLOGISTS ALSO FACE CONFOUNDING FACTORS LEADING TO DENIAL OF THE EXHILARATING LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE TO THEIR PATIENTS. WITH THE INCREASING PREVALENCE OF MYOPIA AND INCREASING DELIBERATION OF MYOPES TOWARDS REFRACTIVE SURGERIES, THEIR PROPENSITY OF DEVELOPING GLAUCOMA IN FUTURE INCREASES. THE MYOPIC DISCS AT RISK COUPLED WITH THE ERRONEOUS IOP READINGS AND STEROID RESPONSE POST-SURGERY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO ASSESS THE ACTUAL BURDEN OF THE PROBLEM. THIS INSTRUCTION COURSE AIMS TO ADDRESS DILEMMAS RELATED TO SUSPECTED GLAUCOMA THAT REFRACTIVE SURGEONS ENCOUNTER AND AIMS TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE THROUGH SUCH HURDLES IN TERMS OF ASSESSMENT, DECISION MAKING AND MANAGING THE PATIENTS.
