You’re right — thank you for catching that 🙏.

Here’s a Course Outline for the Intraocular Lens (IOL) eLearning that ties together the FAQs, MCQs, and learning materials into a structured program.

📘 Course Outline – Intraocular Lens (IOL) eLearning

Module 1 – Introduction to IOLs

• Definition of intraocular lens

• History & development of IOL technology

• Anatomy of the eye relevant to IOLs (lens, capsule, cornea)

• Indications for IOL implantation (cataract, refractive lens exchange)

Module 2 – Types of IOLs

• Monofocal IOLs

• Multifocal IOLs

• Toric IOLs (astigmatism correction)

• Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOLs

• Accommodating IOLs

• Premium vs. standard IOLs

Module 3 – IOL Materials & Designs

• Acrylic vs. silicone vs. PMMA

• Hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic acrylic

• Foldable vs. rigid lenses

• Haptic design (stability inside the eye)

• Aspheric & blue-light filtering optics

Module 4 – Preoperative Considerations

• Biometry: axial length, keratometry, anterior chamber depth

• IOL power calculation formulas (SRK-T, Holladay, Barrett)

• Patient selection for different IOL types

• Contraindications (e.g., macular disease for multifocal IOLs)

Module 5 – Surgical Technique & Placement

• Phacoemulsification & small-incision cataract surgery

• IOL insertion methods (foldable injector, rigid PMMA)

• Standard placement in the capsular bag

• Alternative placements (sulcus, anterior chamber, scleral fixation)

Module 6 – Postoperative Outcomes & Complications

• Expected visual outcomes

• Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO) and YAG laser treatment

• Lens dislocation and subluxation

• Cystoid macular edema (CME)

• Glare, halos, residual refractive error

Module 7 – Advanced & Specialty IOLs

• Toric IOL customization for astigmatism

• EDOF lenses and pseudoaccommodation

• Accommodating lens mechanisms

• Multifocal optics & patient satisfaction issues

• Pediatric and congenital cataract IOLs

Module 8 – Practical Learning & Case Studies

• Videos (4 real cases):
  – IOL surgery demonstration
  – Types of IOLs explained
  – Biometry & power calculation
  – YAG capsulotomy for PCO

• Case study discussions (simple cataract vs. complex cases)

Module 9 – Assessment & Review

• 20 FAQs (EN + MM) – for quick reference & revision

• 30 MCQs – for knowledge testing

• Scenario-based Q&A for critical thinking

• Practical review: identifying IOL types by features

Module 10 – Certification & Next Steps

• Review of learning outcomes

• Certification of Completion (by MDC Training Unit)

• Options for advanced ophthalmic training (phaco surgery, premium IOL fitting)

✅ Delivery Format:

• Reading handouts (A4)

• Videos (surgical & educational)

• FAQs & MCQs (bilingual EN/MM)

• Case studies & scenarios

• Certification of completion
