ASCRS Refractive Day

ASCRS Refractive Day: Improving your EQ to Boost your Patients’ IQ.

ASCRS Refractive Day 2023
Friday, May 5^th, 2023 8:00 AM – 3:45 PM
San Diego Convention Center
Location: Room 6A
Title: Improving your EQ to Boost your Patients’ IQ

Description: Refractive Day will focus on how developing your EQ (emotional intelligence) can complement your patients’ IQ (image quality) to optimize their experience with refractive surgery. In addition to maximizing visual outcomes with new surgical techniques and technology, the ability to refine and to improve patient assessment and counseling skills—both preoperatively and postoperatively—helps to ensure that patient expectations are met and exceeded. Case-based learning, expert panel discussions, role-playing, and didactic presentations will be integrated with audience participation to help surgeons improve both EQ and IQ.
