2018-03-19



Forefront Refractive Surgery Course: SMILE
Advanced course on refractive surgery from E&ENT Hospital of Fudan University
Open to ophthalmologists - limited places available.

Course Overview
The aim of this course is to provide corneal refractive surgeons who are already performing small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) with a detailed description of complications and successes of the procedure.

The focus of the course will be on surgical pearls set against the backdrop of our experience of over 92,500 SMILE procedures (Top 1 in the world) and research. Essentially, we consider this to be a surgical video-fellowship that enables the attendee to learn from complications as well as successes. Each aspect of the course is taught in granular detail so that the attendee will feel very well equipped to make improvements to perform SMILE with a wide knowledge base to reduce the learning curve.
