Past Meetings – 2004
April 29, 2004 by JMP · Leave a Comment
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.

Past Meetings – 2003
April 29, 2003 by JMP · Leave a Comment
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.

IOSS 10th International Meeting, Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy
The 10th International Meeting of the IOSS will take place – in pleasant surroundings in Tuscany – from June 13th-15th inclusive, in 2002. The Meeting is titled “Corneal Stem Cells: refresher course for clinical use”.
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.

New Pathogenesis and Therapies
Pterygium
Pterygium, presumably caused by ultraviolet irradiation and aggravated by environmental and occupational factors, is one of the oldest and commonest eye diseases. Various surgical procedures and adjunctive therapies have been employed, and frequently the most junior staff is assigned to operate patients with pterygium. Nevertheless, the reported literature clearly shows that the most ideal surgical procedure achieving esthetic results with minimal or no complications remains lacking. Therefore, it is timing to review the newest research findings concerning the pathogenesis and critically appraise the pros and cons of various surgical procedures and adjunctive therapies for primary and recurrent pterygia.
Fees: The meeting is free for the registered members of IOSS. For non-members, the registration fee for the meeting is US$ 120, to be payable to International Ocular Surface Society. Online registration can be done by going to website www.ioss.org or a check in US$ 120 can also be sent to International Ocular Surface Society, 8780 SW 92 Street, Suite 203, Miami, FL 33176, USA. Tel: 305-274-1299 , Fax: 305-274-1297.
Objectives:
Upon completion of this conference participants should be able to have a good understanding of the published and new knowledge concerning the pathogenesis of pterygium formation and its recurrence following excision and how to perform the most commonly employed surgical or medical therapies for primary and recurrent pterygia and for managing complications resulting from various therapies.
Style of Presentation:
Brief summary of published data and elaborate presentation of unpublished data
Conclusion of each presentation by raising a specific issue for group discussion
Emphasis of equal time spent on speaker’s presentation and on group discussion
Critical review of each step of surgical procedures using videos and panel discussion
Subjects to Be Covered:
New research data on pathogenesis of pterygium formation, progression or recurrence
Critical appraisal of surgical variables of conjunctival autograft
Critical appraisal of surgical variables of amniotic membrane transplantation
Critical appraisal of intraoperative or postoperative mitomycin C
New Therapies in treating primary pterygium or complications
Call for Video or Abstract:
We welcome members of IOSS and other non-members to submit abstracts to cover the research data of pathogenesis or a comprehensive study (see Abstract Form). The selection criteria are based on the “subjects to be covered” (see above). We also solicit video presentation (see above “Critical Appraisals”), each video clip for 1-2 min to cover a key step of the above three major procedures. Taking conjunctival autograft as an example, the key steps include anesthesia, fixation, head removal, removal of subconjunctival tissue, muscle isolation, preparation of graft, suturing technique, etc. For video presentation, the abstract may mention as many key steps as one would like for one or three procedures. Naturally, we also welcome new surgical procedures.
Also see Web site www.ioss.org for more information about the meeting including how to become a member of IOSS, registration and submission of abstract for this meeting.
