We are pleased to invite all RSA Members to an Exclusive Inaugural RSA Master Class on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT, entitled: From BAD-D to BEES: The Evolution of Enhanced Ectasia Risk Assessment with Renato Ambrósio Jr., MD, PhD.
This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the most innovative minds in refractive surgery diagnostics, recently named among the Top 10 Most Influential Researchers in Ophthalmology worldwide by The Ophthalmologist Power List 2025.
From BAD-D to BEES – A Journey of Innovation.
Ectasia risk assessment stands out as a critical safeguard for patient safety. The potential for iatrogenic ectasia after surgery underscores the need for robust preoperative screening — a process that has advanced dramatically over the past two decades.
A Master Class in Skill Transfer
This is not just a lecture; it is a focused mini-course designed to transfer practical, high-value skills you can implement immediately. You will experience a condensed, high-impact version of the Enhanced Ectasia Risk Assessment (E²RA) learning framework from Ambrósio Vision Academy, applied directly to clinical decision-making.
Pre-registration is Required. Registrants receive a unique log-in link for this Inaugural Master Class at the time of registration. Register soon to secure your place.
