Lecture: Update on Pediatric Ocular Biometry and IOL Power Calculations: Dr. Neelam Pawar

The growing eyes of children necessitate tha pediatric ophthalmologists acquire sufficient knowledge of the basics of pediatric ocular biometry and IOL power calculations. The tools for calculation of keratometry, axial length and intraocular lens power are same as that of an adult eye but implantation of IOL in growing eyes needs under-correction and titration of IOL power. This live webinar will focus on various methods of ultrasound and optical biometry, various methods of under-correction, IOL power calculation formulas, newer methods of biometry and choices of IOL in pediatric cataracts. A review of current tools and considerations for intraocular lens power prediction in infants and children will also be presented. Lecturer: Dr. Neelam Pawar, Ophthalmologist from Aravind Eye Hospital in Tirunelveli, India
