2010 meeting Sept 16-20 in Beijing
October 16, 2009 by · Leave a Comment
The APAO (Asia Pacific Assoc of Ophthalmology) will hold its 2010 meeting Sept 16-20 in Beijing, China. They expect over 5,000 participants. Last year’s meeting in Bali, was both highly successful and enjoyable.
There will be a dedicated 90 minute symposium on Keratoprosthesis. This will cover all forms of KPro. I, Michael W Belin, will chair and organize the symposium. We typically have 8-9 speakers. The APAO has in the past waived all registration for speakers, but travel and hotel are left up to the individual.
If any one would be interested in speaking I would ask that they forward me their contact information and at least two possible titles.
Additionally, there are many other Cornea / External Disease sessions, so if anyone has other topics they may want to talk on please let me know and I can forward these to the proper individual.
Please contact me via email at MWBelin@aol.com

Title: All You Wanted to Know About Keratoprosthesis (Artificial Cornea)
Artificial cornea, or keratoprosthesis (KPros), are recommended for restoring sight in corneal blindness where penetrating keratoplasty is contraindicated. Patients who have had multiple corneal graft failure and severe corneal vascularization form one group of prospective KPro candidates. The other group has severe ocular surface disease so that a corneal graft will meet the same fate as the cornea it set out to replace. The course will cover the indications and contraindications, and the pros and cons of a range of Kpros. Patient assessment will be covered. Recognizing complications and how they should be dealt with will also be covered.
The course will impart basic knowledge on the assessment of these prospective keratoprosteses cases prior to referral to a specialist center. Attendees will have a broad understanding of complications of KPros, which will facilitate co-management with specialist surgeons.

5th KPro- 8th IOSS Joint Meeting, Miami, Florida, USA, 2003
Date:
9 May, 2003
Venue:
Retter Auditorium, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami, School of Medicine, Miami, Florida, USA
Organizers:
Eduardo Alfonso, Jean-Marie Parel, Deborah Sweeney, Scheffer Tseng
Meeting President:
Emmanuel Lacombe
Theme:
Ocular Surface Inflammation As a Threat to Reconstruction and Keratoprosthesis
Synopsis:
Inflammation is a common host response following internal or external insults, and a prelude to formation of granulation and scar tissues. Ocular surface inflammation is no exception but can also be caused by dryness due to the lack of tear film protection and by mechanical friction due to the eyelid blinking when lubricity is lost. Once setting in and becoming persistent, ocular surface inflammation, a hallmark of a number of ocular surface diseases, may produce a vicious cycle leading to destruction of the ocular surface defense with respect to the maintenance of tear film, cicatricial complications to the blink function, and deterioration of epithelial stem cell function. Indeed chronic inflammation has been identified as a high risk factor to surgical reconstruction. In allografts, chronic inflammation facilitates rejection. In keratoprosthesis, the source of inflammation elicited at the interface of host and KPro is at the center stage in KPro design, and presents as a threat to KPro maintenance.
Objective:
The main objective of this joint meeting is to explore deeper the role of ocular surface inflammation in the context of ocular surface reconstruction and keratoprosthesis implantation. After completion of this joint meeting, it is hoped that participants will gain new knowledge and skills that are important to the diagnosis and treatment of ocular surface inflammation so that the success of reconstruction and keratoprosthesis may be promoted.

Scheffer Tseng MD, Ph.D, of the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, USA; will preside, and the Conference Chairman will be Vincenzo Sarnicola MD Consultant ophthalmologist at the Eye Department at Grosseto’s Hospital, Italy.
Prof. Vincenzo Sarnicola is one of Italy’s most esteemed experts in ocular surface disorders. He is personally convinced that in spite of the great developments in this field, there is still a need for KPro.

American Academy of Ophthalmology, New Orleans, 22-27 October 2004
Date: Sunday 24th October 2004
Time: 15:15 – 17:30 hrs
Title: All You Wanted to Know About Keratoprosthesis (Artificial Cornea)
Artificial cornea, or keratoprosthesis (KPros), are recommended for restoring sight in corneal blindness where penetrating keratoplasty is contraindicated. Patients who have had multiple corneal graft failure and severe corneal vascularization form one group of prospective KPro candidates. The other group has severe ocular surface disease so that a corneal graft will meet the same fate as the cornea it set out to replace. The course will cover the indications and contraindications, and the pros and cons of a range of Kpros. Patient assessment will be covered. Recognizing complications and how they should be dealt with will also be covered.
The course will impart basic knowledge on the assessment of these prospective keratoprosteses cases prior to referral to a specialist center. Attendees will have a broad understanding of complications of KPros, which will facilitate co-management with specialist surgeons.
