"The time with Dr. Price and his excellent team was a great experience to me. It was worth taking time and effort to travel the long way from Austria to Indianapolis ."
Thank you.
Univ.-Prof. Dr. Mathias Zirm Innsbruck, Austria
For 50 years, penetrating keratoplasty (PK), or replacement of the full thickness of the cornea, was the standard of care for patients with corneal endothelial disease. In this Advanced Cornea Course, corneal specialist Dr. Francis W. Price, Jr., teaches a more targeted approach of replacing just the diseased layer of the cornea, rather than the full thickness.
Dr. Price presents lectures and slides, supervises wet labs, conducts postoperative examinations and performs live surgeries. There is a strong emphasis in the course on technique and avoidance of complications. Learn from an expert and find out how to identify good candidates and how to treat complications that can arise with these complex surgeries.
- Learn sutureless corneal transplants
- Decrease risk of irregular astigmatism
- Maintain corneal integrity
- Minimize distortion of anterior surface
- Plan your surgical approach
- Learn new techniques for improving speed
- Optimize patient selection
- Examine live patients
- Post-op care and what to expect
- Complications and management
- View multiple live surgeries

Here's what some previous attendees are saying about
the DSEK Advanced Cornea Course:

I feel well prepared to incorporate DSEK and DMEK into my practice. Peter A. Rapoza, M.D. - Boston, MA What a pleasure! Great staff-very accommodating. It was a joy to watch Dr. Price at work. Robert E. Brass, M.D. - Latham, NY Absolutely the best educational activity I have participated in since my training. In addition, they are just very nice people! Nurses should come and learn. Overall a fantastic course. Dale Pilkinton, M.D., Nancy Hardking, R.N. - Nashville, TN Exceeded my expectations! One of the very best hands-on skills transfer sessions I have attended, and I sometimes teach them! Steve Silverstein, M.D. - Kansas City, MO "Thank you for emphasizing an evidence-based approach to the field." Kimberly Sippel, MD - New York, NY This was a phenomenal course. The combination of didactics, wet lab experience, and presence in the operating room for numerous DSEK cases is invaluable. I cannot recommend this course and Dr. Price enough. Also, wonderful collegiality. John P. Barletta, M.D. - Ypsilanti, MI Dr. Price is a fantastic educator, scientist and surgeon. An outstanding course. Parag Majmudar, M.D. Highland Park, IL

Wonderfully organized and up to date. Flexibility allows for greater interaction. Wet lab supervision was excellent. Henry D. Perry, M.D. Sands Point, NY
Truly wonderful course. Drs. Price were excellent in their presentations, and I felt they were both so human, real and genuine, easy to speak with. I feel I could call anytime I need help and would receive wonderful personal attention. God bless all of you. Thanks for a great experience. Stephen Schuster, M.D. El Paso, TX
Well-planned and well done. Frank, you're an excellent, thoughtful and efficient surgeon. Impressive. Thanks for a terrific job! Doyle Stulting, M.D. Atlanta,GA
This is an excellent course. There will be a learning curve to this new and exciting procedure, and this is the best introduction I can imagine.
Excellent course. Dr. Price is a very kind person and an excellent surgeon and instructor. I am very pleased to go on with this.
Excellent course. Very well prepared, covering all aspects a surgeon needs to start performing DSAEK. I now feel ready to get started. Thank you.
It is a very well structured course. It was very useful to me, as I intend to perform this surgery. I am very happy to be attending this course, and thankful to all persons involved. Antonio Limao, M.D. Lisbon, Portugal
I am so impressed to be able to observe excellent surgery. This course is outstanding! Naoyuki Maeda, M.D. Osaka, Japan
More than I expected. This was an excellent and friendly course to attend. Frank was extremely gracious with his time and had endless patience. It was well worth it. Gary
Very practical course with great pearls for success in DSEK. I feel prepared to do my first cases.
Well organized and complete introduction to DSEK. I feel confident, with this course, beginning to perform DSEK in the near future.

Excellent course on DSEK. Dr. Price does an outstanding job of teaching every aspect on the procedure. His pearls and complication management, in addition to observing live surgery, are invaluable. Now that the eye banks are preparing the donor dissection, it makes it affordable for every corneal surgeon to provide DSEK to their patients.
Excellent course on lamellar surgery with emphasis on DSAEK. Particularly felt review of challenging cases was useful. Ready to start DSAEK. V. Vinod Mootha, M.D. Dallas, TX
Excellent course. Thanks to all involved.
This is an excellent course that brings theory, practicality and honesty to a new procedure. The knowledge gained by genuine discussion with wet labs and multimedia experience was well worth the trip. I look forward to a long-lasting relationship with Price Vision Group.
This procedure is definitely the wave of the future. Very slick. Thanks.
This course represents a paradigm shift in corneal transplant surgery. Going forward, it will be difficult to offer penetrating grafts when DSEK is now available. Dr. Price is an outstanding surgeon and gracious host. This course will change the way we think about corneal surgery. Jonathan M. Frantz, M.D. Ft. Meyers , FL
An excellent course that has prepared me to do my first DSEK. I'm excited to get home and perform this surgery! Thank you.

Excellent course - concise and well-taught. Dr. Price provided comprehensive information on possible pitfalls and correction of complications. I think this procedure will replace conventional penetrating keratoplasty in Fuchs' Dystrophy. Connie S. McCaa, MD, PhD
Excellent course. Didactic, wet lab, and viewing live surgeries all very helpful in becoming more comfortable with these advanced techniques. Dr. Price was very forthcoming with complications and his latest techniques. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone contemplating DSEK surgery.
Dr. Price and his staff were wonderful. He is a master surgeon and his course should shorten my learning curve. The multiple cases of live surgery helped reinforce the didactics and wet labs.
Well structured and informative. Overall, an excellent experience. Dr. Price certainly has accelerated the learning curve by honestly portraying his experiences with this procedure. The wet lab was certainly the high point of the course.
Excellent course! Frank has a refreshing openness in discussing his learning curve and complications. I feel ready to perform DSEK at the University of Pittsburgh and appreciate his continued willingness to answer questions as we proceed on our first cases.
Excellent course! Didactic, wet lab and live surgery observation all extremely helpful. Take home materials, lecture material and DVD’s of highest quality. Thanks for a great experience. Laura Bealer, MD
Very Organized. Group size is nice. Great course.
Exciting, informative, practical - well done.
"I am most appreciative that Dr. Price's course is designed to maximize the education of the participants."
"Excellent course, superb teaching by an outstanding and innovative surgeon supported by a wonderful staff."
"It is rare to find a surgeon as forthright and knowledgeable as Dr. Price. His depth of experience and his willingness to share both technique pearls and complicated cases was extremely helpful. Any surgeon contemplating DSEK should attend."
"This was probably the best course I have ever taken. Well organized and highly informative, all aspects of endothelial keratoplasty were thoroughly covered.
"Great course! This is one course that will rekindle one's
interest in ophthalmic surgery. Thanks, Frank."
"Just the right class size. Wonderful staff and facilities.
Would like to come back if Dr. Price teaches other courses; e.g. intracapsular tension rings, etc."

techniques into the hands of American ophthalmologists." |
