OPT1901 - Toronto Cataract Conference

Program Description

This year’s Cataract Conference focuses around Dr. David Chang, one of the most well-known cataract surgeons and educators in the world. As he does at AAO and ASCRS cataract symposia, Dr. Chang will bring his highly innovative and interactive case-based format to the TCC program. A candid review of innovations in cataract surgery will be a highlight, as well as medico-legal aspects of cataract/IOL care. As usual, TCC will cover relevant and topical issues in cataract surgery, including new technology, challenges and complications and debates! TCC always strive to present the most important and practical topics in cataract surgery today.

Our technician program is tailored to office and allied medical personnel and promises to increase knowledge and expertise to make clinic and surgery run smoother, efficiently and improve outcomes.
