Dr. Erik Navas Gives Lecture at VII Biennial Update Course of the Mexican Society of Ophthalmology
Dr. Navas attended the VII Biennial Update Course of the Mexican Society of Ophthalmology, where he talked about Scleral-Fixated Lenses.
This month, Dr. Erik Navas, Co-Director of the Cornea Service at CODET Vision Institute, attended the VII Biennial Update Course of the Mexican Society of Ophthalmology (SMO), a key event dedicated to the continuous education and advancement of eye care professionals across Mexico.
The course, hosted by the Mexican Society of Ophthalmology, gathers experts from all ophthalmic subspecialties to exchange the latest innovations, technologies, and best practices. Its goal is to keep specialists at the forefront of ophthalmological knowledge and patient care.
Presenting on Scleral-Fixated Lenses
During the conference, Dr. Navas delivered a presentation on scleral-fixated intraocular lenses (SFIOLs)—a sophisticated surgical solution for patients who cannot receive standard lens implants due to complicated eye conditions such as trauma, lens dislocation, or previous surgeries.
These lenses are anchored directly to the sclera, or white part of the eye, providing a stable and effective alternative when the natural lens support structure is compromised. Dr. Navas explained how this technique plays a vital role in restoring vision in complex cases, highlighting CODET’s commitment to offering advanced treatment options to its patients.
A Panel on the Latest in Cataract Surgery
In addition to his presentation, Dr. Navas joined a panel discussion alongside fellow ophthalmologists to explore the latest developments in cataract surgery, including innovations in lens implantation techniques, surgical tools, and patient outcomes. These conversations help shape the future of cataract care and reinforce CODET’s dedication to excellence and innovation.
Keeping CODET Vision Institute at the Forefront
At CODET Vision Institute, we strongly believe that continuous medical education is essential for delivering world-class eye care. We take pride in ensuring our doctors are consistently trained in the latest evidence-based practices and emerging technologies in ophthalmology.
Dr. Navas’ participation in this prestigious conference underscores our mission to always be learning, improving, and innovating—so that we can provide our patients with safer procedures, faster recoveries, and better visual outcomes.
