PURPOSE & OBJECTIVES:
(all leading to better patient care)

Valuable information regarding surgical techniques, complications, patient safety, surgical eligibility, medical policy, coding, and budgets will be shared among the three services in attendance. In addition to United States Military refractive surgeons, there will also be representatives from, Canada, France, Great Britain, Israel, Japan, Turkey, Germany and Singapore.

The purpose of the International Military Refractive Surgery Symposium is to share expert information about the latest advances in military refractive surgery with the goal of improved patient care at all military refractive surgery centers. At the conclusion of the conference, participants will be able to:

• Recall the differing policies for refractive surgery among the three U.S. services so that appropriate surgery may be provided to service members based on their branch of service and job description
• Critically evaluate emerging technologies for refractive surgery so that service members may receive the most appropriate and highest quality refractive surgery procedures
• Identify patients who are not good candidates for refractive surgery to reduce the number of refractive surgery complications
• Recognize refractive surgery complications and have a firm plan of how to manage these complications
