Surgical options for refractive error to be explored at 100% Optical

Director of Ophthalmic Consultants of London, Allon Barsam, will discuss the risks, benefits and indications for surgical options for treating refractive error at 100% Optical 2020.

The ophthalmologist’s presentation, Refractive surgery in 2020: the state of the art, takes place at the Main Stage on 26 January at 10:15am.

Speaking to OT, Mr Barsam explained that the session will cover the latest vision correction options including laser eye surgery and lens-based solutions.

“One exciting development is that we have a lot more outcome safety data now. The very first vision correction procedures were carried out in the late 80s and LASIK from the mid-90s, so we now have 20-30 year outcome data on these interventions,” he said.
