Oculosystemic Diseases and the Drugs to Treat Them
The eye is an extension of the brain. We perform dilated funduscopy to not only assess the integrity of the eye’s posterior segment, but also to detect telltale signs of systemic disease. In this course, scenarios are presented that illustrate ocular complications of a variety of systemic diseases, as well as profile the drug therapies used in their treatment.
How OCT Forever Changed Retina
Posterior segment imaging technologies have greatly enhanced our ability to visualize tissue microstructure, as well as assess risk for and detect early signs of disease. This course provides clinically relevant information about OCT/OCTA and other methods of posterior segment imaging. Case studies are used to illustrate interpretation and clinical applications of OCT/OCTA, wide field, en face, FAF, and enhanced depth imaging.
Emerging Trends in AMD
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) imposes an enormous burden on optometrists and ophthalmologists, office staff, caregivers, and above all, patients and their loved ones. This course presents new clinical insights and in an effort to ease this burden, making the case for an emerging systemic approach to AMD that is similar to how we view diabetic retinopathy and retinal vascular occlusion.
