About the Photorefractive Surgery Session
Photorefractive surgery is a groundbreaking ophthalmologic procedure designed to correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. This advanced laser-based technique reshapes the cornea to improve the eye's ability to focus light on the retina, enhancing visual acuity. Common methods include LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis), PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), and SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction). Each method offers distinct benefits, with LASIK providing rapid recovery, PRK being suitable for patients with thinner corneas, and SMILE offering a minimally invasive option. These procedures have revolutionized vision correction, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses and contact lenses, and significantly improving patients' quality of life.

Photorefractive Surgery Conference 2027 — FAQs
What is the Photorefractive Surgery track at IOC 2027?
The Photorefractive Surgery track is a dedicated stream within IOC 2027 covering the latest research, clinical innovation, and best practice in Photorefractive Surgery. It brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners for oral presentations, posters, and discussion.
Who should attend the Photorefractive Surgery sessions?
Ophthalmologists, optometrists, vision scientists, educators, doctoral students, and trainees with an interest in Photorefractive Surgery are all welcome — whether presenting or attending.
Can I present my research in the Photorefractive Surgery track?
Yes. Submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation. All submissions are peer-reviewed by the scientific committee; accepted abstracts appear in the indexed proceedings.
Is virtual attendance available for Photorefractive Surgery sessions?
Yes. IOC 2027 is a hybrid conference — attend the Photorefractive Surgery track in person in Singapore or join live online, with on-demand access afterward.
