This course is designed to allow participants a comprehensive day of updated material in the ophthalmology field. This includes presentations of rare and unusual cases which might otherwise not be seen, reports on results of current and new surgical procedures, technologies and treatment modalities which could be incorporated into practices, and comprehensive reviews of other ophthalmic topics germane to the everyday practice of ophthalmology.
Target Audience
The course is designed for practicing and academic ophthalmologists interested in a comprehensive update on the advances in medical and surgical care of ophthalmic conditions and diseases.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be able to:
- Identify the cellular mechanisms associated with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and to identify the various surgical techniques to manage FECD and what medical therapies may be possible in the future.
- Assess clinical features of ocular surface tumors and the use of image-based modalities for the management of ocular surface tumors.
- Review examples of clinical vignettes and identify how a remote evaluation compares to an in-person evaluation.
- Analyze clinical activity disease scores to determine treatment liability, if any, in patients whose Tepezza infusions have been suspended.
- Assess the carbon footprint of a cataract pathway and explore opportunities to reduce the carbon footprint of cataract surgery emissions
- Assess refractive outcome when combining cataract surgery with premium IOLs implantation and MIGs procedures.
- Identify patterns in head tilt in relation to the side of ptosis that may be related to ocular plagiocephaly, facial asymmetry due to ocular torticollis.
