MORNING
SESSION:
|
|
Update
on Uveitis Treatment, Dr. Ramzi Hemady
Immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory agents are essential
treatment modalities to prevent significant loss of vision
from immune and inflammatory mediated ocular disorders. These
agents belong to several different classes and may be administered
topically, intra-ocularly, systemically, or in combination.
Dr. Hemady will briefly discuss
representative drugs from each category so that the audience
will become familiar with their unique modes of action, indications,
dosage, and sometimes fatal side effects.
|
|
Ptosis:
Diagnosis, Management and Red Flags, Dr. Sajeev Kathuria
Ptosis is a common condition affecting all age groups, from
newborn to the elderly. Accurate diagnosis and management
are critical for good outcomes. Other conditions masquerading
as ptosis must be carefully considered.
|
|
Neuro-Ophthalmology:
Throwdown, Dr. Robert Shin
Patients with neuro-ophthalmologic problems often present
to optometrists. A series of cases referred to neuroophthalmology
by optometry will be reviewed, covering common complaints
such
as headache, blurry vision, anisocoria and double vision.
|
|
AFTERNOON
SESSION:
|
|
Imaging
in Glaucoma: Practical Clinical Applications, Dr. Lily
Im
The purpose of this course is to introduce imaging devices
and their utility in caring for the glaucoma patient. It will
cover the technology, interpretation, and clinical application
of the Heidelburg Retinal Tomograph and the Ocular Coherence
Tomograph.
|
|
How
Can Electrophysiology Help Me Manage My Patients? Dr. Mary
Johnson
This lecture will describe the type of information that is
contained in the electroretinogram (ERG), electro-oculogram
(EOG) and Visual Evoked Potential (VEP). Using case reports,
Dr. Johnson will discuss how these tests can be used to derive
clinically-relevant information.
|
Recent
Developments in the Diagnosis and Management of Diseases of
the Retina and Vitreous, Dr. Robert Liss
Emphasis will be placed on pharmacological approaches to the
management of macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy,
and other retinovascular diseases, newer diagnostic approaches
including high resolution OCT, and sutureless vitrectomy. |
