Module 3
This module will discuss managing cataracts in challenging situations.
The attendee will learn tips to manage cataracts in challenging scenarios like small pupils, rock-hard cataracts, white cataracts, cataracts with zonular weakness, including trauma, and many more.
Biometry in usual and unusual conditions like keratoconus and post-laser vision correction will be covered.
In addition, the course will discuss the applications of femtosecond lasers in cataract surgery and new devices to perform rhexis and mechanical disassembly of the nucleus for safer phacoemulsification in particular situations.

Module 4
In this module, the optical principles of the current different presbyopia-correcting IOLs will be covered in detail. The attendee will learn how to choose the presbyopia-correcting IOLs for the right patient in a systematic way. With the increasing global demands for spectacle independence, the candidate will learn tips and surgical plans with toric, trifocal, and extended depth of focus IOLs. The attendee will practice a stepwise approach for managing dissatisfied patients after the presbyopia-correcting IOLs implantation. By the end of this module, the attendee will be able to move the phacoemulsification to the next level and start the phaco refractive module of cataract surgery.
