Continuing Medical Education

Target Audience
This educational activity is intended for ophthalmologists with an interest in refractive surgeryt.

Educational Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, attendees will be able to:

• Review and understand technology-dependent parameters to optimize patient outcomes;
• Discuss clinical trials for new applications of the technology;
• Evaluate therapeutic applications of wavefront technology in laser vision correction; and
• Develop a patient selection system that will allow for better patient outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.
