Can I operate on this cornea?
… an exclusive RSA Fireside Chat with Renato Ambrósio Jr, MD, PhD, a pioneer in corneal imaging and the use of Artificial Intelligence for corneal screening, with insights immediately applicable to clinical practice.
FFKC is THE major risk factor for progressive (iatrogenic) ectasia after laser vision correction. But what is FFKC? While there is no consensus on the definitions for forme fruste keratoconus, being able to differentiate FFKC from keratoconus suspect is a key determinant of whether or not it is safe to operate. Multiple imaging modes often yield conflicting information, leaving the clinician with no clear answer. This webinar will provide a long-format interview to dive into the concepts with the co-inventor of the Bellin Ambrosio Enhanced Ectasia Display (BAD), a cornerstone of clinical practice.
RSA member Dr. Ambrosio is an Adjunct Professor of Ophthalmology at the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) and is the current president of the International Society of Refractive Surgery (ISRS). Please join us for this unique opportunity to hear behind-the-scenes perspectives with Dr. Ambrosio!

“The Magic of Blended Vision & How it can help you Grow your Practice”
Guest Speaker: Daniel S. Durrie, MD, Chairman of the Board, iOR Partners / Founder, Durrie Vision
The human visual system brings light to the brain and the brain is what makes vision happen. Neuroadaptation, summation, stereopsis, fusion, and integration all occur at higher levels. Surgeons who think of blended vision as monovision often reject the idea because they do not understand the physiology of blended vision.
RSA member Dan Durrie, MD conducted pioneering clinical research into the functional vision of patients with various levels of anisometropia and has described the limits and capabilities of blended vision. Join us for an in-depth discussion about blended vision and how it can grow your practice by providing excellent vision at all distances for your patients, at any age.
