This recorded webinar navigates the patient journey with modern refractive surgery for myopia and hyperopia. It considers eligibility, detailing the screening process, corneal topography requirements, and the “red flags” that might exclude a patient from surgery. It will also address risks and complications, providing a transparent look at managing post-operative side effects like dry eye or night vision disturbances, as well as more serious clinical concerns.
