Satelite CME Programs

Corneal and Lenticular Refractive Surgery in Patients with Glaucoma

ASCRS Satellite CME Symposium

Date: Saturday, April 11, 2026
Reception and Registration: 11:30pm PT
Program: 12:00pm – 1:00pm PT
Location: Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Room 202AB

Description: This symposium is a lecture and case-based discussion addressing the management of glaucoma patients who want corneal and lenticular/cataract refractive surgery. Attendees will learn about the issues impacting refractive surgery decision-making in patients with glaucoma including preoperative assessments, intraoperative strategies, and post-operative considerations. Topics involving the continued management of glaucoma in patients undergoing refractive surgery will also be discussed.

Educational Objectives:

At the conclusion of the program, attendees should be able to:

Describe the key considerations for performing cataract refractive surgery in glaucoma patients, including preoperative assessment and patient selection.
Evaluate the diﬀerent types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) for refractive cataract surgery in glaucoma patients.
Examine the impact of glaucoma medications on ocular surface health and cataract surgery outcomes.
Analyze the impact of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) on refractive cataract surgery outcomes and develop strategies for optimizing both glaucoma management and refractive results in combined procedures.
