Diagnosing and managing corneal ulceration can be a major challenge in general practice. We will cover this disorder in-depth including a diagnostic approach and treatment planning for a variety of ulcers including: simple and complicated (infected) corneal ulceration,Descemtocle and perforated corneal ulcers, corneal foreign bodies, SCCED (indolent ulcer), and corneal sequestra.

We will also practice a variety of relatively advanced surgical techniques in the wetlab. This includes combined wedge resection and Hotz-Celsus for entropion, Triangle-triangle sliding eyelid graft, and modified Morgan pocket technique for cherry eye.
