(MC12) MASTERING PHAKIC IOLS Thursday, 21 August 2025 • 16:00 – 17:30hrs • Seminar Hall 3, MMCEC

Phakic IOLs have gained in popularity with better lens sizing and almost no phakic IOL-induced cataract formation.

This MasterClass will take participants from patient choice, through lens sizing, surgical technique, and on to the management of complications. After this MasterClass, participants who have never used phakic IOLs should gain the confidence to embark on this technology, while those who have should improved their existing skills.
